Long Way to the Bottom Lyrics

Bakery shut down and the baker has long since fled

Word got round that somebody wanted him dead

Woke his wife and kids in the night

whispered through his hand 'everybody pack light'

Now the whole town's wondering who's gonna bring the bread?

Credit can't win you time

And gold's too heavy to hold

Money won't buy back love

When it's gone

The voices in my head have said things no man should know

I've asked them to leave but they scream they got no place to go

So I kill 'em with smoke and constant noise

Whittle it down to my one true voice

And just hope when it comes I still recognize the tone

They say 'silver won't hold to it's shine'

And a diamond's just dinosaur bones

Money won't buy back love

When it's gone

I don't know but I've heard tell

It's a long, long way to the bottom of the well

It's a long, long way

Woke last night from dreaming I was fifty feet tall

Machine gun fire ripped through me as I scaled a wall

Turned around to reach down for you

Bout that time I came back to

Rubbed my eyes and never felt so small

Cause you can build upon god's design

And its still gonna crumble to stone

Money won't buy back love

No, silver don't hold to it's shine

And a diamond's just dinosaur bones

Money won't buy back love

When it's gone

When it's gone
