How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

Chewin' on a piece of grass, walkin' down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know

Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go, I know

I know (I know), I was with you last night
But it feels like it's been so long (so long)
And everybody that's around they know
That I'm not myself when you're gone (myself when you're gone)
It's good to see you again, good to see you again

On top of the world (the world)
Is where I stand when you're back in my life (back in my life)
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright (everything is alright)
Everything is alright

Oh, moonshine (ooh)
Take us to the stars tonight (ooh)
Take us to that special place (ooh)
That place we went the last time, the last time

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

[Nearly Sane]

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best,
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
To let 'em rest unexpressed,
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you
How great you are.

You're the top!
You're the Coliseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louvre Museum.
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare's sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile,
You're the Tower of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I'm the bottom you're the top!

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
And I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no, no, no, no

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watchin' her go

What a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
