Long Way Down

lyrics

Jump on a rooftop
We don’t know your name
Another seven minutes later
We won’t know you came
You say you know
You say “you know we’re the same”
Because you’re off the mark
(Yeah, you’re off the mark)
Yeah

We’ll start the rumor
But who takes the blame?
We got the next seven years
To do it again
We say we know
We say “we know we’re the same”
Cause we’re off the mark
(Yeah, we’re off the mark)

It’s getting lonely at the top here
It’s a long way down

It’s always lonely at the top yeah
And it’s a long way down

Washed up on shore
With seven lifetimes to go
Stream the same stories
That we’ve all seen before
Same faces, different names
Cause you’re all the same
(Yeah, we’re all the same)

It’s getting lonely at the top here
It’s a long way down

(Long way down)

It’s always lonely at the top yeah
And it’s a long way down

It’s getting lonely at the top here
It’s a long way down

It’s always lonely at the top yeah
And it’s a long way down

Circumventing your circumstance
Your chance encounters they leave nothing to chance
You don’t know us. We don’t know you.
You better post it or you’ll have no proof

Documenting every mundane minute
Of every single static day
(Long Way Down)
Proletariats bending to the same will
Isn’t life a thrill?

It’s getting lonely at the top here
It’s a long way down

(Long way down)

It’s always lonely at the top yeah
(Long way down)
And it’s a long way down
Long way down
Long way down
Long way down
