Like a politician who never lies,
it doesn't have the ring of truth
Like I'm being judged by a man in the sky
You can't find a shred of proof
Like the likely -hood giant
monkeys in the woods
Livin' in the great
Northwest
Like the clowns and shodgy comin'
through with the goods
It's most unlikely at best
And it's a long shot
Long shot, oh yeah
It's a long shot, do -do -do -do
Long shot, baby, long, long, long
Like a universe without its mystery glue
It can't hold together at all
Like a heavy heart inside of you
Well, it drops like a wrecking ball
And the dirt that used to
be under your feet
Is now looser than an aggregate
Like the possibility of having it all
You might be a year too late
And it's a long shot
A long shot, oh yeah
It's a long shot, de -de -de -de
Long shot, baby, la -la -la
All that promise and youthful hope
Disappeared like a puff of smoke
All you're left with is thing
s you don't remember
And other things you can't forget
Other things you can't forget
Like a long shot
Long shot
Long shot
Long shot
Oh
When the rockets go off,
they hit another space
The space isn't there or here
Then that seed that swims
towards those eggs
It makes those kids appear
Like a universe without it's mystery glue
It can't hold together too long
Like the empty heart inside of you
I can't fill it with this song
And it's a long shot, d -d -d -d
Long shot, oh yeah
It's a long shot, d -d -d -d
Long shot, yeah
It's a long, long, long, long, long, long
Long shot, baby, yeah
It's a long, long, long, long, long, long
Long shot, baby
Long, long, long
Long shot
Long shot
I'm shot
I'm shot
I'm shot
I'm shot
