Pushed It Over The End

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

Good lookin' Milly's got

a gun in her hand

But she don't know how to use it.

Sooner or later she'll

have to take a stand

And she ain't about to lose it.

All the towns people gather around

They've come to see

what's going down

Although no one hears a sound

There's another poor man

falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

Falling down, falling down.



On this noisy shore

Standing at the edge of you.

Could those dreams of yours be true

Or did you, did you, did you

Pushed it over the end?

How much time did you spend?

Pushed it over the end.



Good lookin' Milly's

into politics now

And things are looking much better

She keeps ten men in her garage

Knitting her fine sweaters.

At the end of a weary day

She feels hard and she looks hard.

Although no one hears a sound

There's another poor man

falling down.

Falling down, falling down.

Falling down, falling down.



I came back for more

And found you waiting at the door

And far inside your walls

I called

Did you, did you, did you

Pushed it over the end?

How much time did you spend?

Pushed it over the end.



How much love did you spend?

Pushed it over the end.
