The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a long long way to the top of the world
But it's only a short fall back down
A young fool filled with grief I let ambition rule me
Like a hunger that gnawed at my soul
I worked hard made my fortune but lost the heart of my darling
She got lonely and her love soon grew cold
It's a long long way to the top of the world
On a rough road that winds round and round
It's a long long way to the top of the world
But it's only a short fall back down
Now I'm a big man with money but at love I'm a pauper
Though what I once held now another man claims
I've reached the top of the world but my heart hit rock bottom
I can't make love to fortune and fame
