You thought you had it all.
You were mum's finest work of art.
Looking good working hard to be popular.
Life gave you a happy start.
You left some lying down your path.
And you took all you could it seemed easy.
The one and only child.
You were daddy's pride and joy
And you knew how to get what you wanted.
And when you came of age.
You had lovers on parade.
People talked and you loved the attention.
When the shadows came around.
They surprised you blew your.
Cover dragged you down.
Once you start you can't stop.
Feel the pain when you drop
So quit your act now
Once you start you can't stop
Long way down from the top
So give it up now
Before you hurt yourself
Had some fun hurt a few
As you sucked the pap of life.
Had great cards played them right pure perfection.
Now you're the queen of the bar.
Keep your distance acting smart.
Though the shadows deep inside make you shiver.
He offers you a drink.
Tears your loneliness apart.
No retreat you consent no dismissal.
In the backseat of his car.
Trying hard to find the meaning of it all
Once you start you can't stop.
Feel the pain when you drop
So quit your act now
Once you start you can't stop
Long way down from the top
So give it up now
Before you hurt yourself
Lying crying on the ground
With the distant shadows gathering around
Once you start you can't stop.
Feel the pain when you drop
So quit your act now
Once you start you can't stop
Long way down from the top
So give it up now
Before you hurt yourself
