Long Way Down

Gypsy, has eyes that hide the secrets no one sees Easy, you smile until she brings you to your knees Stick around 'til you get the truth Taste blood when you get your proof (oh yeah) Find that you've never understood Give it all, but it's meant for good (oh yeah) And I know this life makes fools of wise men, thieves, and kings (yeah) When we lose we live our lives like puppets on a string Close your eyes and you'll lose your soul Do your time, but there's no parole from here No chance when the end is near Hear the words that you never thought you'd hear (yeah) Life whispers in your ear [Chorus] It's a long way down When ground starts comin' I tried to tell you, but you would not listen It's a long way when you fall from the top Yeah! [Guitar Solo] Build it all on a bed of lies Standing tall 'til you realize you're here Look away, but you can't pretend Gonna pray for a way when the end is near Life whispers in your ear It's a long way down When the ground starts comin' I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way It's a long way down When the ground starts comin' I tried to tell you But you would not listen It's a long way Such a long, long way A long way down A long way down When you fall from the top All For The Love of Rock & Roll (Paul Stanley) Yeah, yeah Mmmmmm Whoo [Verse] I was just another child going wild in the city Just gettin' by on a dream I was thinking life was gonna be so pretty, It was pretty mean Yeah I hit the road with no expectations Just leaving where I'd been I didn't care about the fame or the money Show me a place to play and I'm gonna go [Chorus] 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll [Verse] I hitched a ride on a trip going nowhere Got fifty bucks and I'm fine. Ain't a lot of dough but when you know the feeling. Well it feels alright, alright When you're finished with the band and some honey grabs your hand, yeah You get to thinking you might That's when you notice there's a ring on her finger That's when she tells you that she's single tonight [Chorus] Well it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll I've got it made when I hit the stage at quarter to nine (yeah) Watch them dancin' in the haze and the band's really pumping You feel the rush and that's all it's about I'm in for life and there's no getting out of the way [Guitar Solo] Yeah All I want... All I need... Yeah, 'cause it's all for the love of rock and roll Hear my music in the air, and I'm losing control I don't care what you heard, I don't care what you're told 'Cause it's all for the love of rock and roll All for my love of rock and roll...
