Straight to the Top
Where did you leave your baby?
Bleeding in her bed
Her ghost has come to stay
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away
In the bar we sit like blackbirds
With our broken wings
Like clocks without their springs
Just like time doesn't mean anything
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
We used to ride around
In a broken down old car
But now I'm changing trains
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between
Mom and dad are fast asleep now
But I'll be wide awake, a surfer in the break
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
You better get it now while the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
You better get it now while the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening, oh yeah
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
Bleeding in her bed
Her ghost has come to stay
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away
In the bar we sit like blackbirds
With our broken wings
Like clocks without their springs
Just like time doesn't mean anything
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
We used to ride around
In a broken down old car
But now I'm changing trains
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between
Mom and dad are fast asleep now
But I'll be wide awake, a surfer in the break
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
You better get it now while the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
You better get it now while the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening, oh yeah
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
Won't you tell me which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay down here
