The Big Come-Down (Alternative Version) Lyrics

Black nights and white days

In our youth, there were no grays

Life was clear, no haze, no maze

No uncertainty, in our forgotten ways

Reality, is a long way down

Where will you land in the big come-down

Angels without wings in the dark of the night

Devils without horns in the broad daylight

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

The young not knowing, wish to be old

The old not remembering, wish to be told

The future's a dream, as yet untold

The past's a memory, lifeless and cold

Reality, is a long way down

Where will you land in the big come-down

Angels without wings in the dark of the night

Devils without horns in the broad daylight

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

The young not knowing, wish to be old

The old not remembering, wish to be told

The future's a dream, as yet untold

The past's a memory, lifeless and cold

Reality, is a long way down, (long way down)

Where will you land in the big come-down? (big come down)

Angels without wings in the dark of the night, (dark of the night)

Devils without horns in the broad daylight. (broad daylight)

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

Illusions shatter, as reality unfolds

The world we knew, dissolves and erodes

Life reveals there's nothing written

Survival the path, the law we are given

We search for meaning in shifting sand

Trying to find our place, in unfamiliar land

The ground beneath us is always moving

And the truth we seek is ever eluding

Reality, is a long way down, (long way down)

Where will you land in the big come-down? (big come down)

Angels without wings in the dark of the night, (of the night)

Devils without horns in the broad daylight

Angels without wings in the dark of the night

Devils without horns in the broad daylight

As we live, illusions drift from our sight

Struggling to grasp meaning, with all our might

Angels come, in the darkness of night

While devils appear, in the brightest of light

Yes... angels will come, in the darkness of night

While devils are hidden, in the brightest of light

Oh

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

Oooooooo... aaaaaaaaaaaaa.... ooo

Where will you land in the big come-down

I ask you, where will you land in the big come-down
