No one thinks to witness

Lyrics:
No more upset mornings
No more tired evenings
This American dream
I am disbelieving

When the gas in my tank
Feels like money in the bank
Gonna blow it all this time
Take me one last ride

For the lights of this city
They only look good when I'm speeding
Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Cause this time I'm gone

In the far off distance
As my tail-lights fade
No one thinks to witness
But they will someday

Feel like a question is forming
and the answers far
I will be what i could be
Once I get out of this town

For the lights of this city
They have lost all feeling
Gonna leave em all behind me
Cause this time

I'm gone

Long gone
This time I'm letting go of it all
So long
Long gone, I'm letting go of it all
Cause this time I'm gone

If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

I am gone
Some words when spoken...Can't be taken back...

    lyrics have a different impact from songs, as they are stripped, they get to you...

    great album, one of my favs, cool song, but not one of my favs...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    I was in Atlantic City last week and drove by the Borgata and looked up at the rooms and windows and thought to myself "I wonder which one (if any) of those rooms was the one where EV looked out and then wrote Gone"

    i felt that way at first but not any more.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
