Which Way To The Top?

Where did you leave your baby
Bleeding in her bed
Her ghost has come to stay
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away
In the bar we sit like blackbirds
With our broken wings
Like clocks without their springs
Just like time doesn't mean anything
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here
We used to ride around in a broken down old car
But now I'm changing trains
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between
Mom and Dad are fast asleep now
But I'll be wide awake
A surfer in the break
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here
You better get it now while
The getting's good
While the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
While is happening to you
Get it now while
The getting's good
While the getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
What is happening to you, oh yeah, oh yeah...
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here
