lyrics
Flashes off in the distance
Closing in on us
Face it we’re already finished
No ifs, ands, or buts
Were we better off back there
Liquid darkness everywhere
I’ve never seen such rotten stairs
Hey, where you going? You must be joking
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
I admit, it’s not exactly ideal
No, It’s absurd
All I got is what the guy gave me
Gotta say, it’s a neat brochure
Groaning branches full of birds
Singing love songs without words
Phthalo water, their wings disturb
They fly about it, they rise and plummet
And it’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
Well I’ll be, thanks for the reminder
You have all of my attention
This one of yours may just be a keeper
Possibly even a perfect ten
Well it’s an option, I suppose
proceed with caution, here take this rope
Even better, these five smooth stones
Good thing I brought ‘em, try not to drop ‘em
‘Cause it’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
Closing in on us
Face it we’re already finished
No ifs, ands, or buts
Were we better off back there
Liquid darkness everywhere
I’ve never seen such rotten stairs
Hey, where you going? You must be joking
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
I admit, it’s not exactly ideal
No, It’s absurd
All I got is what the guy gave me
Gotta say, it’s a neat brochure
Groaning branches full of birds
Singing love songs without words
Phthalo water, their wings disturb
They fly about it, they rise and plummet
And it’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
Well I’ll be, thanks for the reminder
You have all of my attention
This one of yours may just be a keeper
Possibly even a perfect ten
Well it’s an option, I suppose
proceed with caution, here take this rope
Even better, these five smooth stones
Good thing I brought ‘em, try not to drop ‘em
‘Cause it’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
It’s a long way to fall
Yeah, as far as I can recall
It’s a long way to fall
