An ordinary soul on a one-way road What am I fighting for? Everything points to the building?? A monumental fool's gold I open the door to the world at war And our houses are falling down Is there no way back? Am I too late now? What can I do to get me out? It's a long way down Gotta pray my bones won't lie in the middle Of this wasted town It'll pick you up, but there's one way out It gets easier the more you've got to lose It's a long way down (long way down) The walls are down and the curtains are torn Where my life once stood I can trace each step through the moments I've missed And the ones I never thought that I would My world became just what I made it (whoa) And I now know what I gave up (whoa) It's a long way down Gotta pray my bones won't lie in the middle Of this wasted town It'll pick you up, but there's one way out It gets easier the more you've got to lose It's a long way down (long way down)
