LADDER (1980)

Don't think about what's going on
Above me,
And I'm on my way down fast.
Down, down, down the ladder,
Each rung looks better than the last

Down, down, down the ladder
Jumped up from the ground too quick
Didn't know what I was missing
So now I'm taking my pick
People up top've got too much worry
So I'm on my way down

And I'm in a hurry;
down, down down the ladder
Come back to the ground with a bang
Hit my head so soon forgot
The words of the song I just sang
Down, Down down the ladder
Boy I'm feeling bad,
That sure was
A spot of bad luck I had
Damn those people at the top there
Pushing and shoving at will
If it wasn't for their impatience
I'd be up there with them still.

Looking up gives me vertigo.
