Long Way Down

Daddy don't need to fight

Why don't you come inside

I can tell you're slipping

Slipping out of sight

And when you stagger

I help you find the light

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

You been diggin' this hole

In the cold, cold Earth

Diggin' down in your well

For the saviour's birth

You're coming in hot

I'm gonna make this right

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

Mother, mother mercy

Let your hands lead me

I can be your vessel

I can be your prodigy

Let me be your freedom

Let me see the sign

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

Sixteen candles

Lonely and bright

You blew 'em all to pieces

'Cause you're dynamite

You don't need to be sorry

It's gonna be just fine

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

Mother, mother mercy

Let your hands lead me

I can be your vessel

I can be your prodigy

Let me be your freedom

Let me see the sign

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

Look out momma

Kickin' at your door

You carry a message

From a sad, sad world

Full of last words

Long out of sight

It's a long way down tonight

'Cause it's a long way down tonight

Mmm, right

It's a long way down tonight
