Long Way Down


i wouldn't have gone there
but the choice wasn't mine
the nightmare was coming
didn't see it in time

when everything crashes
the chords are insane
a fish to the masses
can't remember my name

why do i write this
the king lost his crown
he fell out the window
Was a Long Way Down

the rainbow has melted
the closet is dark
you'd think i'd have felt it
but the dog didn't bark

the bedroom is spinning
the world has stopped
the carrots aren't orange now
the film was a flop

i'm under the big top
but can't find the clown
he fell out the window
Was a Long Way Down

the egg's on the wall now
the rabbit's asleep
the doctor won't see me
i'm stuck to the sheets

the shoe is on backwards
the screen is a blur
what song is playing
i'm really not sure

tell me mirror mirror
how can you but frown
i fell out the window
Was a Long Way Down
