lyrics

Don’t you journey to the mountaintop
Until you’re ready for the long drop
‘Cause when you’re down, down, down the only way is up
And when you fall, fall, fall you careful back stand up
And it’s a long, long, long, long, long, long, long way down

The rungs on my ladder were my friends
(Were my friends)
And people don’t like other people treading heavy on their skins
I was only honest when I told you how dishonest I am
Every scandal brought me closer to my bitter end
(My bitter end)

‘Cause when you’re down
Long, long, long, long, long, long way down

Don’t you journey to the mountaintop
When you’re done you can’t get high enough
Listen again, to the story my friend, of how I reached my bitter end
It’s not worth the riches if you’re burnin’ your bridges
And yourself is all you’re thinking of
(All you’re thinking of)

From your mountaintop, to the bottom I drop
And when you fall you can’t fall fast or far enough
It’s not worth the riches if you’re burnin’ your bridges
And yourself is all you’re thinking of

And it’s a long, long, long, long, long, long, long way down
