Long Way Down Lyrics - Singles - The Romany Rye

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
