[Verse 1] Ain’t no mystery About the way we feel But you get so alone at times And all you’re…trying to do is…heal [Verse 2] What is this great misunderstanding? Where do…we go from here? The future’s in the sky above us What if we let it just disappear? [Chorus] On top of this mountain of madness It’s a long way down to hard ground Please forgive me for asking But there must be a better way around The streets are on fire the roses are dead and gone On top of this mountain of madness It’s a long way down so long [Verse 3] Ain’t no victory Worth payin’ such a cost That once the final bell has rung You’ve earned less than what you’ve lost [Verse 4] So many different people Different faces and different names Underneath our blood runs red And that’s what makes us all the same [Chorus] On top of this mountain of madness It’s a long way down to hard ground Please forgive me for asking But there must be a better way around The streets are on fire roses are dead and gone On top of this mountain of madness It’s a long way down so long So long So long
