Ladders

When I wake up in the night

I can't open my eyes

I reach down to the floor

I laugh until I cry

It's just the way it is

I start to realise

Why can't I be sure of things

I feel inside

Beware of tigers and bad dogs

Making monkeys of you

I'm walking barefoot on cut glass

Now that all my ladders have gone

I don't really have the heart

To run a million miles

To where my ladders start

Everyone hurts sometimes

Beware of tigers and bad dogs

Making monkeys of you

Beware of tigers and bad dogs

Making monkeys of you
