She's no good for you, now
See how that buildin' there is nearly built
And put me up on the angel's shoulders
I see you walkin' down the street with her
These streets have never been paved with gold
Take me up to the top of the city
Ooo, aaa
Take me up to the top of the city
Up on the angel's shoulders
I see your lights goin' on and off
Welcome to the loneliest city in the world
Look, I'm here with the ladder
Mmm yes, one more step to the top of the city
I don't know if you'll love me for it
There's just one thing we can do about this
But I don't think we should ever suffer
Take me up to the top of the city
But I don't think we should suffer this
She's no good for you, baby
I don't mind if it's dangerous
It's no good for you, now
There's a big fire over on the north of the city
It looks like hell down there
Take me up to the top of the city
Take me up to the top of the city
Ooo, aaa
It's no good for you, baby
Put me up on the angel's shoulders
An' put me up on the angel's shoulders
I don't know if you love me or not
Take me up to the top of the city
One more step to the top of the city
Keep lookin' up for the ladder
There's just one thing we can do about it
Up to the highest point of the city
I don't know if I'm closer to heaven but
I don't mind if it's rainin'
Take me up to the top of the city
Put me up on the angel's shoulders
