Lyrics

He's falling down the staircase, he don't know just how to stop
He's forty flights from bottom and sixty from the top
He's a man on a mission, as brave as he seem
A lonely life's ambition, got a sieve
For a brain
You won't miss your water till your well runs dry
You can't taste the truth when you're drinking a lie
It's a long, hard road, but we've gotta make it through
So tell me, tell me, what in the world
Are we gonna do?
So don't dig yourself any deeper
The only color that I see is red
My life would be so much sweeter
When I'm standing tall on your head
And when you reach the bottom when you hit my killing floor
I'll be there to greet you and show you to the door
It's a bright sunny day, not a cloud in the sky
So say your prayers one last time 'cause today's
The day you die
So don't dig yourself any deeper
The only color that I see is red
My life would be so much sweeter
When I'm standing tall on your head
You should be better off dead
My life would be so much sweeter
When I'm standing tall on your head
Yeah, know what I say now, don't let me down
No, I'll never forget you put me down
You could run like a cheater, oh, I've still got you
You can tear me to pieces, do anything you wanna do
