Intro: verse 1 Now, as you know, it's your time on this Earth While we're rocking the cradle we're riding the hearse We keep moving upward towards everything free And kindly look downward and oh, you'll see me I've had six years of luck, I've had six on the line I've poured myself out like an old bitter wine I've seen much of nothin' and nothin's the game I've been thrown on my back and I don't know my name There's too many tears, too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain verse 2 Points on the map, tears line the way I've seen all your pretty things and oh, it's a shame There's been much confusion with too many hurt I feel my words dyin' down in the dirt I've had lies in my head, there's been lies in my heart I've been tortured by this riddle and I don't know how to start With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and my mind, it starts to click So do what you must do and you best do it quick There's too many tears, too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain Whoa-oh-oh-oh There's too many tears, too many tears verse 3 Doctor, oh doctor, my world's in your hands I feel like I'm dyin' and oh, I need a plan Sister, sweet sister, there's blood on my lips Why does it feel like this wound's doing flips? The dream's come on time, it's clear, I can tell I've seen your work everywhere and there's mercy in hell With a lightning flash and thunder, boys, and again it all comes down And I see my life merging with these poor souls underground There's too many tears, too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever, whoa-oh-oh-oh There's too many tears, too many tears Too many people in too many years Some tears of laughter and some tears of pain That break like a fever and fall like rain echoing Whoa-oh-oh-oh There's too many tears, too many tears Outro (There's too many tears, too many tears) And fall like rain (There's too many tears, too many tears) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (That break like a fever and fall like rain) (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (There's too many tears echoing) (Fall like rain echoing)
