jacob's ladder

i met a fan dancer down in southside birmingham

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

she said he's tryin' to save me

but i'm 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 jacob's ladder

comin' over the airwaves the man says i'm overdue

sing a song

send money

join the chosen few

but 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

one by one

all i want from tomorrow is to get it better than today
