Top of the City
One more step to the top of the cityWhere just a couple of pigeons are livingUp on the angel's shoulders
I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven butIt looks like Hell down thereThese streets have never been paved with goldWelcome to the loneliest city in the worldIt's no good for you babyIt's no good for you nowKeep looking up for the ladder
I don't know if you'll love me for itBut I don't think we should suffer thisThere's just one thing we can do about it
Take me up to the top of the cityTake me up to the top of the cityTake me up to the top of the cityAnd put me up on the angel's shoulders
See how that building there is nearly builtThere's a big fire over on the north of the cityI see you walking down the street with herI see your lights going on and offShe's no good for you babyShe's no good for you nowLook I'm here with the ladder
I don't know if you love me or notBut I don't think we should ever sufferThere's just one thing we can do about this
Take me up to the top of the cityTake me up to the top of the cityUp to the highest point of the cityOne more step to the top of the cityPut me up on the angel's shoulders
And I don't mind if it's dangerousI don't mind if it's rainingTake me up to the top of the city
And put me up on the angel's shouldersTake me up to the top of the cityMmm yes, one more step to the top of the cityAnd put me up on the angel's shoulders
