DON's come undone. He doesn't know what he is headed for and when Don finds the wall he is headed for It'll be too late.

He's come undone
he found a mountain that was far too high
and when he found out he couldn't fly
It is too late

he's gone too far
he's lost the sun

but all we got were lies
came the time to realize
It's too late
he's gone too far
he's not much fun
he's come undone
