Long Way Down

Am I an evil man
Cause I carry my pistol in my hand
And I shot my woman down
Then I cut out my tongue
I couldn't say her name no more
But her ghost is with me now
Some men are born to win
Well, I have chose a life of sin
Rambling town to town
Spend time in run-down bars
With broken needles in my arms
Dreams have all been drowned

And it's a long way down
And it's a long way down
And it's a long way down
But the view from the bottom's fine
with this desperation I've made mine

When I killed my first man
The devil came to me and said
Come and follow me
I did all of his deeds
And sacrificed 'bout everything
Can't erase the pain
He couldn't take no more
My father gave up his old soul
With a rusted razor blade
He opened up his veins
Because he could not take the weight
Of the life we make

And it's a long way down
And it's a long way down
And it's a long way down
But the view from the bottom's fine
with this desperation I've made mine

I know that she's out there forgetting about me
Sunlight dances in her hair, skin speckled by the sea
I know that she's out there forgetting about me
Sunlight dances in her hair, skin speckled by the sea
