Long Way Down Lyrics by iskwē & Tom Wilson
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
