Act One - Top Of The City (Live)

[Chorus 1]

One more step to the top of the city

Where just a couple of pigeons are living

Up on the angel's shoulders

[Verse 1]

I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but

It looks like Hell down there

These streets have never been paved with gold

Welcome to the loneliest city in the world

[Bridge 1]

Oh baby

It's no good for you now

Keep looking up for the ladder

[Verse 2]

I don't know if you'll love me or not

But I don't think we should suffer this

There's just one thing we can do about it

[Chorus 2]

Take me up to the top of the city

Take me up to the top of the city

Take me up to the top of the city

And put me up on the angel's shoulders

[Verse 3]

See how that building there is nearly built

There's a big fire over on the north of the city

I see you walking down the street with her

I see your lights going on and off

[Bridge 2]

Oh baby

She's no good for you now

Look I'm here with the ladder

[Verse 4]

I don't know if you love me or not

But I don't think we should ever suffer

There's just one thing we can do about this

[Chorus 4]

Take me up to the top of the city

Take me up to the top of the city

Keep going right up to top of the city

Right up to the very highest point of the city

[Verse 5]

And I don't mind if it's dangerous

I don't mind if it's raining

Take me up to the top of the city

[Chorus 5]

Take me up to the top of the city

Take me up to the top of the city

Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city

And put me up on the angel's shoulders
