jacob's ladder

i met a fan dancer

down in southside birmingham

she was running from a fat man

selling salvation in his hand

now he's trying to save me

when i'm doing all right

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

hey

mister

i'm not in a hurry

and i don't 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

rung by rung

climbing jacob's 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

rung by rung

climbing and climbing

step by step

one by one

step by step

rung by rung

step by step

and step by step

step by step
