Lyrics

Already Gone

the time has come the Walrus said to talk of many things:
of shoes and ships and sealing wax of Cabbages and Kings
and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings (or not)
and other worlds ?though worlds away are on their way

I?ll swim until I?m forgiven
I?ll sleep here on your lawn
I?ll reappear as a stranger
but now I?m already gone

I wish conditions were different
I wish the mornings were warm
I?ve searched through cold constellations
but now they?re already gone

I?ve read gibberish dead men
I?ve tasted ravenous fear
I?ll die at four in the morning
but I won?t know the year

I?ve lost my daughter?s mother
I?ve ridden junk through the snow
I?ve trampled the law down on Bourbon
Who knows where the Walrus will go ?
I?ve lost something dear in the barroom while trying to remember a song
I give you Roughage and Royals
but now they?re already gone
