Too Soon to Tell

Snider

Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head

I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read

I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do

I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too.

Tennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wire

I've got a little money; I could get a little higher

I was alright awhile but you know how it goes

Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose.

I never did like the people where I was employed

They was always out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid

Now I'm workin' for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime

If what we're here to do is learn to forget, I'm gonna need more time.

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell)

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell)

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell) by and by

It's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to you when you die.

It's too soon to tell what we'll ever avenge

They say that living well is the best revenge

I say : '********, the best revenge is to win'

'This isn't over, we're going to meet again'.

And good Lord if you're up there, you sure got some nerve

Seems like even the wicked get worse than they deserve

We're afraid to die every goddamn one of us

I swear to God it's like you're makin' fun of us.

Not worth keepin, or too good to keep

You got a better kinda secret, better wait til I'm asleep

And if you're so God almighty then what's with all this mystery ?

Yes, I wanna trust you, buddy, but you're clearly keeping secrets from me.

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell)

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell)

It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell) by and by

It's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to you when you die.

At the fortune teller's on the second floor

In bright red letters hangin' off of the door

It said 'closed', I think it might've been some kinda sign

Don't give up on me, baby, I think I could be losin' my mind.

I've just met too many people that I love too much

They're scattered all over, I could never stay in touch

With travellin', almost forever it seems

You too will wake up one morning with a lot more memories than dreams.

Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head

I'm walkin' down the hill without my fortune read

I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do

I wish I could show you how you'd hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too

I wish I could show you how you'd hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too.
