lyrics

Limitations

You open your paper and there he is laid out before you.
Oh so deserving of all the fortune and fame.
And you're not opening the mail.
It's the part you've chosen for yourself.

It's not fair for you to do so well out in the world
I'm hemmed in by horizons.
Would it be too much to ask of you to send a telegram
when you reach your limitations.

How can we sit here and say we did not see it coming.
When we kept our mouths and our money so far apart.
If we'd only looked into the future
we'd never be so wrong before.

It's not fair for you to do so well out in the world
I'm hemmed in by horizons.
Would it be too much to ask of you to send a telegram
when you reach your limitations.
