When you’re ridin’ backwards in the rumble seat
You’re always watchin’ the faded lines of history recede
Lookin’ ahead, the windshield’s cracked like a cataract
But you keep on lookin’ forward to quit that lookin’ back
Up ’round the bend in a dark valley it leads
You follow it up to distant high lonesome peaks
The roads are uncharted, your directions lost
At the end of the day the pay off is greater than the price of loss
But you’ll never catch up
Oh that vanishing point, it’s just too far
No fast-moving train, no speeding car
No high-flying plane or a shooting star
Will ever catch you up
To that vanishing point, oh it’s just too far
Way up in the distance a sign says “”Danger Fall Out Zone”
You take one glance quickly decide to follow that road
Thrill of the unknown keeps you feelin’ alive
No more sleepwalkin’ through your days, it’s high time you get in for a ride
But you’ll never catch up
To that vanishing point, it’s just too far
No fast-moving train, no speeding car
No high-flying plane or a shooting star
Will ever catch you up
To that vanishing point, oh it’s just too far
When am I goin’ to get there, a little voice whispers in your head
You’ll get there when you get there, the other voice in there said
But how will I know when I’ve arrived?
Oh you know you’ve arrived when you feel so completely and utterly alive
But you’ll never catch up
To that vanishing point, it’s just too far
No fast-moving train, no speeding car
No high-flying plane or a shooting star
Will ever catch you up
To that vanishing point, oh it’s just too far
