Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees Stick around 'til you get the truth Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah) Find that you've never understood Give it all, but it's meant for good (oh yeah) And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah) When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul Do your time, but there's no parole from here No chance when the end is near Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear (yeah) Life whispers in your ear [Chorus] It's a long way down When ground starts comin' I tried to tell you, but you would not listen It's a long way when you fall from the top Yeah! [Guitar Solo] Build it all on a bed of lies Standing tall 'til you realize you're here Look away, but you can't pretend Gonna pray for a way when the end is near Life whispers in your ear It's a long way down When ground starts comin' I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way It's a long way down When the ground starts comin' I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way A long way down A long way down When you fall from the top
