Too near or far

This is the second time I've had to think twice
The golden boy has tarnished and lost his lust for life
The wheel of fortune has come to a stop
The wildside walk has reached its height and now there's a drop
Laughter is the language of the soul
But the comedians crowd has turned away and he's stuck In a hole
The Cheshire cats been hit by a car
The end is in sight but it's always too far
