So Far To Fall Lyrics - Works, Vol. 2 - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

(Emerson, Lake, Sinfield) 

I was "Master Faster", I was "Mr. Mystery" 

there wasn't a mortal man was gonna make a monkey out of me. 

I had reflex, action, first strike capability 

so high - so tall - so far to fall. 

I took my time, my life was all without a cause 

till she came bursting through the frontdoor of my heart, 

just like the signs that say I'll follow by a star, 

once more, no blame, I'm far, no name . 

Too much, too soon, a touch of moon 

a burst balloon, so far, so far to fall. 

Ooh she had me, she had me running rings around the floor. 

She had me nailed to a door, she had me crying out, 

she had me crying out for more, more, more, more, more, more, more. 

She bad me, she tied me up in knots like a piece of a string, 

she did a thing to my thing, she did a thing to my thing 

like it's never been done before. 

Too much ... 

I saw stars, in the night, I was hers, I was high 

I had so far to fall, such a long way to fall 

and I fell and I fell and I fell ------ 

So if you're "Master Blaster" or you're "Mr. Mystery" 

don't think you're insulated from love's electricity. 

There'll be no escape for you, there was no escape for me 

so high - so tall - one night you're bound to fall.
