I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She was running from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he`s trying to save me
We`ll I`m doing alright the best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob`s ladder
Coming over the airwaves
The man says I`m overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few
Well mister I`m not in a hurry
And I don`t want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today
Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob`s ladder
