We blow phat/fat like Helmet Lotti going down on Pavarotti
I think now would be the time to go; "Ewwww!"
If the structures we're providing aren't overly exciting
Take a trip to the bar and get boozed
They say that if you snooze you lose
And that I'd be better off playing the blues
But I just don't have a long enough fuse
And enough cool shit to let loose

We've got a long, long way to go
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah
We've got a long, long way to go
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah

I like a big bass sound, I like to roll by hand
I'd like freedom for all and free one-night stands
I love my burn't out wheels and shady late-night deals
Old jazz recordings when I'm short on ideas
I don't trust the man, 'cause he's always on my back
Don't believe all I read, I've got to know for a fact
I'm into sneakers and jeans, I don't throw rocks at the queens
I use vodka and beer to keep my hands and nose clean

We've got a long, long way to go
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah
We've got a long, long way to go
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah

Down we go, that lethal spiral
Spinning that grin off your face faster than Mydol
It's not to be taken lightly
I toss and I turn in my sleep about it nightly
Why take the risk when the odds are so slim?
Very few have walked these paths and come up smiling
But I guess it's just meant to be
So we'll keep on pushing 'til we reach our dreams

We've got a long, long way to go
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah
And a hard, hard line to toe
It's a long, long way to fall
Down, down, down
Down, down yeah
Down, down yeah
Down, down yeah
