Top Of The City

One more step to the top of the city Where just a couple of pigeons are living Up on the angel's shoulders I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but It looks like Hell down there These streets have never been paved with gold Welcome to the loneliest city in the world It's no good for you baby It's no good for you now Keep looking up for the ladder I don't know if you'll love me for it But I don't think we should suffer this There's just one thing we can do about it Take me up to the top of the city Take me up to the top of the city Take me up to the top of the city And put me up on the angel's shoulders See how that building there is nearly built There's a big fire over on the north of the city I see you walking down the street with her I see your lights going on and off She's no good for you baby She's no good for you now Look I'm here with the ladder I don't know if you love me or not But I don't think we should ever suffer There's just one thing we can do about this Take me up to the top of the city Take me up to the top of the city Up to the highest point of the city One more step to the top of the city Put me up on the angel's shoulders And I don't mind if it's dangerous I don't mind if it's raining Take me to the top of the city And put me up on the angel's shoulders Take me to the top of the city Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city And put me up on the angel's shoulders --- Top of the City - Kate Bush
