Jacobs Ladder — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby



I met a fan dancer down in southside birmingham

She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand

She said hes tryin to save me

But Im doin alright, the best that I can

Just a pair of fallen angels tryin to get through the night



Step by step, one by one, higher and higher

Step by step, one by one, climbing jacobs ladder



Comin over the airwaves the man says Im overdue

Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few

But mister Im not in a hurry, and I dont want to be like you

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today



Step by step, one by one, higher and higher

Step by step, one by one, climbing jacobs ladder



All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today

Step by step, one by one, higher and higher

Step by step, one by one, climbing jacobs ladder
