Blues Traveler - Top of the World lyrics

You can walk a mile in no shoes Before you realized you were dreaming And when you finally come to Your nightmare's warning may still be screaming Careful what you wish for little man It might go on and on and on and on Because there's poison in the rat race And your tasters won't protect you from your royal table When karma finally puts you in your place On top of the world You meet strange people People choose to turn their back on you Just to cover their a**es On top of the world Your soul sells cheaper Then a pack of used cigarettes Or your designer gla**es The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper At the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper At the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is...steeper At the top of the world On the top of the world When your eyes are focused on a price Your head turns 'round and 'round by some peddler's panacea Too late realization will arise A tower's view won't take you high as a single good idea On top of the world You meet strange people People choose to turn their back on you Just to cover their a**es On top of the world Your soul sells cheaper Then a pack of used cigarettes And your designer gla**es The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper At the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper At the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is...steeper No rhyme or reason, no sense of up or down Not even air up there to fill your beating heart Icarus can see you from where he landed on the ground Right there where everybody also starts On the top of the world On top of the world Your soul sells cheaper Then a pack of used cigarettes And your designer gla**es, yeah The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper On the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper On the top of the world The rent is cheaper but the climb is steeper On the top of the world..........
