Intro: E A D E x2


    E           A
The horizon has been defeated 
      D                      E
by the pirates of the new age 
E      A
alien casinos 
   D                   E
well maybe it's just time to say 
E             A
things can go bad 
    D                    E
and make you want to run away 
    E           A
but as we grow older 
   D                 B 
the troubles just seem to stay 


future complications
in the strings between the cans 
but no prints can come from fingers 
if machines become our hands 
and then our feet become the wheels 
and then the wheels become the cars 
and then the rigs begin to drill 
until the drilling goes too far 

E            A
things can go bad 
   D                      E
and make you want to run away 
    E            A
but as we grow older 
    D                 B     A     E
the horizon begins to fade, fade, fade
B  A  E
fade away 


thingamajigsaw puzzled
anger don't you step too close
because people are lonely and only
animals with fancy shoes
hallelujah zig zag nothing
misery it's on the loose
because people are lonely and only
animals with too many tools 
that can build all the junk that we sell
sometimes it makes you want to yell


things can go bad 
and make you want to run away 
but as we grow older 
the horizon begins to fade away
