Lyrics

[00:29.21] You came to see me when the moon was new
[00:31.49]
[00:33.01] Saw you standin' in the pouring rain
[00:35.63]
[00:37.70] Left my message on the window pane
[00:40.03]
[00:41.90] Back on the street again
[00:44.08]
[00:45.84] Back on the beat again
[00:48.35]
[00:50.53] I'm back on the top again
[00:52.70]
[00:56.53] Saw me climbing to the top of the hill
[00:59.14]
[01:00.77] You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
[01:03.28]
[01:05.12] Learned my lesson and I had my fill
[01:07.34]
[01:09.19] Learnt it all in vain
[01:11.26]
[01:13.43] Went through it all again
[01:15.51]
[01:17.24] Now I'm back on the top again
[01:19.75]
[01:23.88] Always drivin',
[01:25.10]
[01:26.08] always climbing way beyond my will
[01:28.60]
[01:31.86] Same old sensation,
[01:33.27]
[01:34.57] isolation at the top of the bill
[01:36.86]
[01:40.12] Always seeming,
[01:41.49]
[01:42.25] like I'm moving but I'm really going slow
[01:45.29]
[01:48.35] What do you do
[01:49.11]
[01:49.76] when you get to the top
[01:51.38] and there's nowhere to go
[01:53.47]
[01:56.21] Just how I get there will be anybody's guess
[01:59.70]
[02:01.13] With all the so called trappings of success
[02:03.97]
[02:05.38] Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
[02:07.88]
[02:09.51] Too busy raisin' cain
[02:11.69]
[02:13.33] I'm back on the street again
[02:15.85]
[02:17.80] I'm back on the top again
[02:20.09]
[02:49.81] Always drivin',
[02:51.13]
[02:52.11] always climbing
[02:53.41]
[02:53.84] way beyond my will
[02:55.81]
[02:58.37] It's the same old sensation,
[03:01.11] isolation at the top of the hill
[03:04.16]
[03:07.42] Always seeming,
[03:08.21]
[03:09.09] like I'm moving
[03:10.29]
[03:10.95] but I'm really going slow
[03:12.10]
[03:14.60] You'll find out when you get to the top
[03:17.65]
[03:18.30] that there's nowhere to go
[03:20.36]
[03:23.21] How you get there will be anybody's guess
[03:26.03]
[03:27.33] With all the so called trappings of success
[03:30.17]
[03:31.04] Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
[03:33.87]
[03:35.50] Too busy raisin' cain
[03:37.46]
[03:38.89] I'm back on the street again
[03:41.50]
[03:43.24] I'm back on the top again
[03:45.75]
[04:01.86] Back on my feet again
[04:04.80]
[04:05.99] I'm back on the street again
[04:08.18]
[04:09.69] I'm back on the top again
[04:15.80]
