Horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age
Alien casinos
Well maybe it's just time to say
The things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
The trouble just seems to stay
Future complications
In the strings between the cans
But no prints can come from fingers
If machines become our hands
And then our feet become the wheels
And then the wheels become the cars
And then the rigs begin to drill
Until the drilling goes too far
Things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
Horizon begins to fade, fade, fade, fade away
Thingamajigsaw puzzled
And anger don't you step too close
'Cause people are lonely
And only animals with fancy shoes
And Hallelujahs exact nothing
And misery it's on the loose
'Cause people are lonely
And only animals with too many tools
That can build all the junk that we sell
Aw sometimes man make you wanna yell
That things can go bad
And make you wanna run away
But as we grow older
Horizon begins to fade away
Begins to fade away, begins to fade, fade, fade. Begins to fade away

LYRICS
The Horizon has been defeated
By the pirates of the new age
Alien casinos, well maybe it's just time to say
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
But as we grow older, the trouble just seems to stay
Future complications in the strings between the cans
but no prints can come from fingers, if machines become our hands
And then our feet become the wheels, and then the wheels become the cars
And the rigs begin to drill until the drillings goes too....far
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
But as we grow older, the horizon begins to fade, fade, fade(note, there is a different
chord progression for this part, can you figure it out?)
fade away
but thingamajings are puzzles
anger, don't you step too close
cause people are lonely and only animals with fancy shoes
and hallelujahs zig zag nothing, misery is hard to lose
cause people are lonely and only animals with too many tools
that can make all the junk that we sell
aw, some time, man, make you wanna yell
Things can go bad, make you wanna run away
But as we grow older, the horizon begins to fade..away
C# B f# (is this right guys?)
fade away
fade fade fade
fade fade fade
