A Long Way Down

A Long Way Down - Lloyd Cole

Didn't I hear you say your hearts made out of steel

No ones gonna get so close

No ones gonna know how you feel

Now you're a punch drunk sycophant a little s o b

You say your mind is made up isn't that the way that its supposed to be

And it's a long way down

And it's a long long way down

Walking that tall your head is gonna trip your feet

Walking with the devils fine just don't call it looking for sympathy

When it's four a m and mister you can't sleep

Cause your bloods still rushing at coc*ine speed

And you know all that you needs a little baby to say

Ah mister cool down won't you let me fade those blues away

And it's a long way down

And it's a long long way down

And when you hit the ground you're gonna know about it

Mister lets you and me see if we can't make a deal

I'll give you the world and all youve gotta do is cry for me

The reason it's a cliche is because its true

The harder you climb the harder you fall and that means you

So mister hard head hard nose hard as steel

You're just a punch drunk sycophant a little s o b

And it's a long its a long way down

And it's a long long way down

And when you hit the ground you're gonna know about it
