Lyrics A little too far Savatage

A little too far


Do you remember
Look at me
And all the things we'd said we'd be
We'd beat the house
We'd push the odds
We'd take it all we had the cards
With years to burn
And years to trash
Living lies based on flash
But somehow reaching for the stars
I think we went a bit too far
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
When everything you touch turns gold
Can weigh you down
Can make you old
When metal doesn't ring the same
Reaction from inside your brain
And all those years we offered up
To gods who couldn't get enough
And though we still stay up all night
The mornings aren't quite as bright
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far
And all those things we thought we'd learned
As we watched our bridges burn
While standing in the afterglow
I guess we gave them quite a show
When John Wayne caught the last train out
And Spock and Kirk have had enough
And no one's left to beam me up
Got to get back
Got to get back
I never meant to take it this far

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics A LITTLE TOO FAR of SAVATAGE is also present in the album Streets (1991)

Biografia

Savatage is an American heavy metal band formed in Tampa, Florida, in the early 1980s. The founding members were brothers Jon Oliva (vocals and keyboards) and Criss Oliva (guitar), along with drummer Steve "Doc" Wacholz. The band quickly gained a solid fan base in Florida and released their debut album, *Sirens*, in 1983. The following year, Savatage signed with Atlantic Records and in 1985 they released their major-label debut, *Power of the Night*, which marked a turning point in their career. After their first significant tour, bassist Johnny Lee Middleton joined the band in late 1985, completing the definitive lineup. Savatage is known for its epic and melodic sound, influenced by progressive rock and classical music. Some of their most representative songs include *Power of the Night*, *Hall of the Mountain King* and *When the Crowds Are Gone*.
