We Know Too Much Songtext
von Mark Heard

I went down where the road meets the sea
And I took everything that I owned
I was sitting on catastrophe′s knee
I was expecting Armageddon to come
Oh, the highway was choked with its usual
Clots of big guts and loud radios
The airwaves were full of the obvious
And I was muttering, "What have we done?"

You cried out to stop me
You cried out to stop me
I said, "It's too late
You and me, we know too much"
You and me, we know too much


Hey, well, I dreamed that we found bloody guns
As we were looking for holes in the air
Someone shouted that we were the ones
So I stepped on the gas in despair
I woke up from a dream in a sweat
With the knowledge of evil and good
I looked at my own silhouette
It looked back with a bad attitude

You reached out to touch me
You reached out to touch me
I said, "It′s too cruel
You and me, we know too much"
You and me, we know too much

Oh, in our hearts, we are wandering gypsies
In our minds, we are heirs to the truth
To the poor, we are swallowed in riches
To the rich, we ain't nothing but gold
We don't know what became of our fortunes
It could rescue or end other lives
We are gathering speed through this tunnel
To go down where the truth meets the lie

You reached out to soothe me
You reached out to soothe me
I said, "It′s too cruel
You and me, we know too much"

We know too much
You and me, we know too much


We know too much
You and me, we know too much
We know too much
We know too much
You and me, we know too much
We know too much
We know too much
We know too much
We know too much
