A Long Way Down Lyrics - Singles - Lloyd Cole

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

No one's gonna get so close, 

No one's 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 it's 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 devil's fine, just don't call it looking for sympathy 

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

'Cause your blood's still rushing at cocaine speed 

And you know all that you need's 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 let's you and me see if we can't make a deal 

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

The reason it's a cliche is because it's 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, 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
