We should be headin' for the top now
We've have a hundred thousand years
We should've found a little heaven in our soul

That could've washed away the tears
Instead we're wasted all the time
And there's a thousand ways to cry

And in our haste to find a little more from life
We didn't notice that we'd died
And we'll be losin' all the time

We'll be choking back the tears
And we'll be seein' only white light in our mind
And it's been blinding us for years

She got a rhythm in her soul
She got a rainbow in her eyes
She got a little bit of hurtin' deep inside

And its hurt you're gonna try

And I've been shooting up my time

I've been holdin' down the fear
We should be headin' for the top now little child
But I've been rotting here for years

And we'll be calling the dark
I'll be holding back the shame
We should be headin' for the top now little child

But she'll be dancing on your grave
And I'll be calling for a god
I'll be calling out for more

And I've been given all the riches in my heart
That she'll be selling at the door
She got a heavy duty soul

She got a twinkle in her eye
And she's polluting all the air waves with her song
And it's a song I'm gonna buy


And then she comes into my room
She caught me messin' on the floor

She got a little bit of heaven in her soul
That got me crawlin' back for more
She got a rumour in her heart

She got a twinkle in her eye
She got a little bit of hurtin' deep inside
And it's a hurt I'm gonna try

But her ambition's such a drag
She made a coffin for my dreams
And now I'm losing all I had now

To stay in love by any means
And I'm forgettin' all the time
I should've photographed my mind

She got a little bit of heaven deep inside
And its a heaven I should find


And there's a stagger in our walk
And there's a stutter in our name
And you'll be seeing only white light in your mind

And there'll be nothing more to gain

We should be headin' for the top now

We've had a hundred thousand years
Instead we're losing all we got now
To cry a hundred thousand tears


We should be heading for the top now
But we'll be crawling on the floor

Instead we're losing all we got now
To cry a hundred thousand more


We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now

We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now
We should be heading for the top now

We should be heading for the top now

Mary, Mary quite contrary

How does your future go?
Backstreet dealin'
Midnight stealin'
Oh does your mother know?


Sadie, Sadie
Quite the lady
How does your fortune grow?
Fixin' hustlin'
Pimpin' cussin'

Don't let the damage show
