LONG GONE

[Verse 1: Richie Simpson]
Buried in the bottle and I'm lost
In a sea of Cheshire grins
Flashing red in the lions den
That sound of crumbling dreams again

[Chorus: Richie Simpson]
A million miles from hope
A masquerade in the blinding sun
Another message to daylight is
Drowned in the mire of hours long gone
Long gone

[Verse 2: Richie Simpson]
Once again, the party is spent
Your loss. The joker won't speak of it
Tired and raw, your body bent over
The dog is waiting at your door

[Chorus: Richie Simpson]
A million miles from hope
A masquerade in the blinding sun
Another message to daylight is
Drowned in the mire of hours long gone
Long gone

[Bridge: Richie Simpson]
Long gone
You lay, you lay in the flames
And keep crawling back again

[Chorus: Richie Simpson]
A million miles from hope
A masquerade in the blinding sun
Another message to daylight is
Drowned in the mire of hours long gone
Long gone

[Outro: Richie Simpson]
Long gone
A million miles from hope
Long gone
A million miles from hope
Long gone
