Take it how you please, please don't
Bring me to my knees, I'm trying
With a diamond in my eye, yeah smile
Take it, then leave, tell me lies
Come and tell me why I'm a hypocrite
I got all the pieces but they still don't fit
In the Garden of Eden I found some trash
And I wrapped it up and I'll send it in a bag
Yes it's a long way down, yes it's a long way down
Yes it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down
Yes it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down
Show me all the things that I've never seen
Live like oh babe, a bad dream
On a psychedelic mission to put me on my back
She's a multi-coloured vision, oh a heart attack
I'm luck or money when I'm gone gone gone
Show me what I need to see
Before the last tick of the last clock
Live for the money, live with all I got yeah
Yes it's a long way down,
Yes it's a one way road
Yes it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) down
Yes it's a long (it's a long way) way (it's a long way) from home
Baby here it comes, yeah flee
Tell me what you like to see
Multi-coloured vision of a acrobat
Swinging over you, I gave you that
Come and tell me why the light's in my eyes
Tell me why the screams are waking me at night
Tell me why the wall just seems too thin
And tell me why I'm sinking babe cause I can swim, yeah
Yes it's a long way down
Where do you go (where do you go)
Where do (where do you go) you go (where do you go)
Where is the love (where is the love)
Where is (where is the love) the love
Where is the truth (where is the truth)
Where is (where is the truth) the truth (Where is the truth)
What did you do (what did you do)
What did you (what did you do) do (what did you do)
Where did you go (where did you go)
Oh where (where did you go) did you go (where did you go)
Black is the night (dark is the night)
Black is the (black is the night) night (black is the night
Without you (without you yeah)
Without (without you) you (without you) come on
A one way road (one way road)
A one way (one way road) road (a one way road)
A long way down
