When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses You were sealing the deal Halfway down the road and ain’t it Funny how the ghosts they fade in Suddenly appear
You went too far Oh, woman, now you’re feeling the fear Cause you’ve never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh Now it’s better if you hold your breath and don’t look down At the pages of your paper crown
You reached out for more and as the waves end At the shore you felt The fading of your will Choke back the metaphor The bottom of the ladder ask me If I love you still
You went too far Oh, woman, now you’re feeling the fear Cause you’ve never been alone before, oh And the wolf is at the door, oh And the hounds of hell, they won’t lie down On the ashes of your paper crown
In the bright light of the sun Will you make sure everyone could see your face? You make fun of everyone who falls And meantime they were saving you a place
Cause you’ve never been alone before And the wolf is at the door, oh And the talking heads don’t make a sound At the aging of your paper crown Better if you don’t look down At the pages of your paper crown
