Jacob's Ladder

I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham
 She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand
 She said he's trying to save me
 But I'm doing alright, the best that I can
 Just a pair of fallen angels trying to get through the night
 Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
 Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder
 Coming over the airwaves the man says I'm overdue
 Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few
 But mister I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to be like you
 All I want from tomorrow is just to get it better than today
 Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
 Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder
 All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today
 Step by step, one by one, higher and higher
 Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder
