I came down the hard way,
With eyes to curse the cruel days
Lips to laugh the whole night, through


I bought a ladder from a friend,
That said that I could fly

Since my thoughts have turned black as midnight

Cause it's a long way down, long way down

Long way down, from the bottom

From cheap ritz and burgundy,

The stale smell of mystery
I think no one here,
Is quite what they seem


The siren sings the sweet songs,
To Judas on the front lawn

While Dianna's in the bathroom,
Getting stoned


Cause it's a long way down, long way down
Long way down, from the bottom


The ghost of Ophellia,
Said "What you'd like I could steal for ya."
But what you need,

you don't cause to think

Now my voice, could never carry

The lips that gave it wings,
But my smile could tell a lie
With no words


Cause it's a long way down, long way down
Long way down, from the bottom


It's a long way down, long way down
Long way down, from the bottom
