We Know Too Much

I went down where the road meets the sea

And I took everything that I owned

I was sitting on catastrophes knee

I was expecting Armageddon to come

The highway was choked with its usual

Clots of pick-ups and loud radios

And the airwaves were full of the obvious

I was muttering, "Oh, what have we done"

You cried out to stop me

You cried out to stop me

I said oh no, it's too late

You and me, we know too much

You and me, we know too much

Well, I dreamed that we found bloody guns

As we're looking for the holes in the air

Someone shouted we were the ones

So I stepped on the gas in despair

I woke up from the dream in a sweat

With the knowledge of evil and good

I looked at my own silhouette

In the back with a bad attitude

You reached out to touch me

You reached out to touch me

I said oh no, it's too true

You and me, we know too much

You and me, we know too much

You and me, we know too much

In our hearts we were wandering gypsies

In our mind we were heirs to the druids

To the poor we were swaddled in riches

To the rich we had nothing but poor

We don't know what become of our fortunes

Into the rescue or into the lines

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

You and me, we know too much

You and me, we know too much
