Act One - Top of the City (Live)

One more step to the top of the city
Where just a couple of pigeons are living
Up on the angel's shoulders

I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It's like Hell down there
These streets have never been paved with gold
Welcome to the loneliest city in the world

Oh baby
It's no good for you now
Keep looking up for the ladder

I don't know if you love me or not
But I don't think we should suffer this
There's just one thing we can do about it

Oh take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders

See how that building there is nearly built
There's a big fire over the north of the city
I see you walking down the streets with her
I see your lights going on and off

Oh baby
She's no good for you now
Look I'm here with the ladder

And I don't know if you love me for it
But I don't think we should ever suffer
There's just one thing we can do about it

Oh take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Keep going right up to the top of the city
Right up to the very highest point of the city

And I don't mind if it's dangerous
I don't mind if it's raining
Take me up to the top of the city

Take me up to the top of the city
Oh take me up to the top of the city
Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shoulders
