Long Way Down

Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees

Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees

Stick around 'til you get the truth

Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah)

Find that you've never understood

Give it all, but it's meant for good (oh yeah)

And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah)

When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string

Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul

Do your time, but there's no parole from here

No chance when the end is near

Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear (yeah)

Life whispers in your ear

It's a long way down

When ground starts comin'

I tried to tell you, but you would not listen

It's a long way when you fall from the top

Yeah!

Build it all on a bed of lies

Standing tall 'til you realize you're here

Look away, but you can't pretend

Gonna pray for a way when the end is near

Life whispers in your ear

It's a long way down

When the ground starts comin'

I tried to tell you

But you would not listen

It's a long way

Such a long, long way

It's a long way down

When the ground starts comin'

I tried to tell you

But you would not listen

It's a long way

Such a long, long way

A long way down

A long way down

When you fall from the top
