Before Too Long
Sam Coomes
[n.b. This song is very "early REM", both in mumbly enunciation and hazy lyrical vibe, so my best guesses here are not particularly good. Any better ones are encouraged.]
I could never drive a tractor through a wall
I am just a plain & ordinary guy
But I know you all too much
You ruin everything you touch
& I would never even try
Somehow everything is [?] & that's [?]
Though, what's far away, the end is now in sight
Then you pulled out a gun
& blew the brains of everyone
& sit & watch the neon light
I come falling from the air
& I don't care if they all [?]
& God & all the buildings
Gather around
Before they fall down on my head
I don't care if [?] never [?] hear
& I believe that if I go wrong(blind?)
I won't be coming back before too long
