So far to fall lyrics Emerson, Lake & Palmer

So far to fall

I was "Master Faster", I was "Mr. Mystery"
There wasn't a mortal man was gonna make a monkey out of me.
I had reflex, action, first strike capability
So high - so tall - so far to fall.

I took my time, my life was all without a cause
Till she came bursting through the frontdoor of my heart,
Just like the signs that say I'll follow by a star,
Once more, no blame, I'm far, no name .

Too much, too soon, a touch of moon
A burst balloon, so far, so far to fall.
Ooh she had me, she had me running rings around the floor.
She had me nailed to a door, she had me crying out,
She had me crying out for more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
She bad me, she tied me up in knots like a piece of a string,
She did a thing to my thing, she did a thing to my thing
Like it's never been done before.

Too much ...

I saw stars, in the night, I was hers, I was high
I had so far to fall, such a long way to fall
And I fell and I fell and I fell

So if you're "Master Blaster" or you're "Mr. Mystery"
Don't think you're insulated from love's electricity.
There'll be no escape for you, there was no escape for me
So high - so tall - one night you're bound to fall
