Midnight Mountain Climber

Midnight mountain climber
Keeps getting higher and higher
Late night behind a lighter
His only friend is the fire

Midnight mountain climber
He's a blacked out backroad driver
Rollin' on ice, with two flat tires
Won't be long 'til the boy expires

How high can you climb
Tell me how low can you go
Until it's beddy bye, closing time
End of your rope and you're here no more

Midnight mountain climber
Swinging on a golden wire
Gripping it tighter and tighter
But your load ain't getting no lighter

Midnight mountain climber
He's a ramblin' gamblin' piker
Tell you how he plans to retire
Local front page high diver

Midnight on the mountain
Dawn out on the ledge
Drowning in the fountain
That takes but never gives

Midnight mountain climber
Stumblin' out of the briar
Strummin' on a deadman's lyre
And singing with the devil's choir

Midnight mountain climber
He's a crawling red-eyed spider
Laughing at the cat in the shire
'Til its smile can't get no brighter

How high can you climb
Tell me how low can you go
Until it's beddy bye, closing time
End of your rope and you're here no more
