I never thought I’d be here now
I never thought I’d drink this cup
They said the book would show us how
But the book was not enough
It took just one taste to shut me up
I cast the first stone, then I got knocked in the head
And now I’m choking down all the words I once said
It’s such a long way down, it’s such a long way down
I wonder when did I become
All the things I once despised
Another lashing of the tongue
Another opening of the eyes
It took just one step to change my mind
(Chorus)
The higher the horse, the greater the fall
If there’s poison on your lips, best say nothing, best say nothing at all
Another proud and lucky one who dares to think that it should last
Cause it’s a long way but the fall is so fast
