Huey Lewis and The News – Jacobs Ladder lyrics
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
Well
I'm doing all right the best that I can.
Just another falling 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
. . .
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
step by step
step by step.
