Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - No Easy Way Down lyrics

No Easy Way Down

(G. Goffin/C. King)

Your toy balloon has sailed in the sky

And now it must fall to the ground

Now you're sad as can be

Just how badly, you'll see

That there is no easy way down

The view from the cliffs

Oh, it must have been exciting

And up to those peaks you were bound

And now you're stranded alone

And the past is unknown

And there is no easy way down

No it isn't very easy

When you're out there on your own

No, it isn't very easy

When each road you take

Is just one more mistake

There's no one to break your fall

Or lead you back home

We all like to climb to those heights, love

Where our fantasy world can be found

But you must know in the end

When it's time to descend

That there is no easy way down

There is no easy way down
