Jack and Jill
Me and my old lady
We got a dream coming true
'Cause me and my old lady
Just bought some room with a view
We kept our options open
It was the only way we could deal
Living life on our own terms we took the house on the hill
But if it all comes tumbling down
Just a dream gets broken
But our souls stay sound
We can hold our heads high
And look back with no shame
With a conscience as clear as our ideals and aims
'Cause where do you go
At the end of the day
When your world comes tumbling down
Can you climb to your feet
Wipe the tears from your eyes
'Cause its only the foot of the hill
Some people take a mortgage
Down on memory lane
Hide their heads in the sand
And hope their troubles go away
Detach themselves from living
A life that they can never afford
Lock their hearts and their spirits
Behind heavy golden doors
But if it all comes tumbling down
A dream gets broken
But your souls stay sound
Can you hold your heads high
And look back with no shame?
With a conscience as clear as your ideals and aims
'Cause where will you go at the end of the day
When your world comes tumbling down
Can you climb to your feet
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Can you climb your way back up the hill?
We got a dream coming true
'Cause me and my old lady
Just bought some room with a view
We kept our options open
It was the only way we could deal
Living life on our own terms we took the house on the hill
But if it all comes tumbling down
Just a dream gets broken
But our souls stay sound
We can hold our heads high
And look back with no shame
With a conscience as clear as our ideals and aims
'Cause where do you go
At the end of the day
When your world comes tumbling down
Can you climb to your feet
Wipe the tears from your eyes
'Cause its only the foot of the hill
Some people take a mortgage
Down on memory lane
Hide their heads in the sand
And hope their troubles go away
Detach themselves from living
A life that they can never afford
Lock their hearts and their spirits
Behind heavy golden doors
But if it all comes tumbling down
A dream gets broken
But your souls stay sound
Can you hold your heads high
And look back with no shame?
With a conscience as clear as your ideals and aims
'Cause where will you go at the end of the day
When your world comes tumbling down
Can you climb to your feet
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Can you climb your way back up the hill?
