long way to the ground

2000-08, words & music by H. LANGE, CD: SWEAT (BM 0503)

FACES DEAD WITH BLOODY BRAINS, KILLING HEARTS, RUSTY CHAINS, EMPTY EYES ARE WATCHING YOU, DIRTY DEADS, SAD BUT TRUE

A FIST IN YOUR FACE - A BROKEN NOSE, WHILE YOU'RE GOING DOWN, A LITTLE WIND BLOWS, YOUR BODY'S FLYIN' THROUGH THE SPACE, ROWING LEGS LOSE THEIR BASE

IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE GROUND, YOU ARE LOOKIN' AROUND, WHILE YOU'RE SWIMMING IN THE AIR, IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE GROUND, TILL YOU FEEL THE BOTTOM'S SOUND, UNTIL BLOOD STICKS IN YOUR HAIR

YOUR GIRL HAD TOLD YOU NOT TO GO, YOU SAID GOODBYE AND LEFT YOUR HOUSE, NOW SHE'S ALONE, TOO WEAK TO CRY, THE STRAYING CAT WAS OUT TONIGHT, AN EMPTY ROAD, THE LITTLE NOTE AND YOUR LAST FIGHT

IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE GROUND, YOU ARE LOOKIN' AROUND ...

IT'S A LONG TIME TO GET DOWN, ENOUGH TIME TO LOOK AROUND, ANYBODY'S WATCHING YOU JUST FALLING DOWN, IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE GROUND, TILL YOU FEEL THE BOTTOM'S SOUND, UNTIL BLOOD STICKS IN YOUR HAIR
