Lyrics:

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

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...

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

Whoa oh oh oh
There's too many tears
Too many tears...

(There's too many tears)
(Too many tears)
Fall like rain

(There's too many tears)
(Too many tears)
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
(Break like a fever)
(And fall like rain)

(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh...)

There's too many tears...
Fall like rain...
