On Your Way Down
ALLEN TOUSSAINT
You have worked your way up to the top
Thought that you would make
The whole world stop
Up to Venus, Mars and Jupiter
Bet your feet don't even touch the Earth
On your way on your way down
On your way you're on your way down
Stumbling drunk now with authority
You've taken all that you can take from me
On your way on your way down
On your way you're on your way down
Are you lying to yourself?
There's no right or wrong
No heaven and no hell
Now you're losing all your friends
To surround yourself with
All those dull "yes" men
On your way on your way down
You're on your way on your way down
You're on your way
