When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses You were sealing the deal Halfway down the road and ain't it Funny how the ghosts they fade and Suddenly appear You went too far Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down At the pages of your paper crown You reached out for more and as the waves hit At the shore you felt The fading of your will Choke back the metaphors The bottom of the ladder ask me If I love you still You went too far Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down On the ashes of your paper crown ♪ In the bright light of the sun Will you make sure everyone can see your face? You make fun of everyone who falls And meantime they were saving you a place 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh And the talking heads don't make a sound At the aging of your paper crown It's better when you don't look down At the pages of your paper crown
