Life At The Top

(album: Backlash - 1991)

He looks like deniro
She's his brigitte bardot
And that's enough to hang around
With those who think they know
But if you've got the image
And symbols of success
You must be doing something right
To keep up with the jones's
They made it from the casting couch
The sex was rock an' roll
They're everybody's business
Inquiring minds must know
Every slummy little detail
Every superficial move
And you can buy it retail
In pink and black and blue
She said
Take me walking where the surf is slow
He said
What's wrong with right here
I got places to go
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free
It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
If you get up on the table
You're gonna lose your place
In the city of angels
Where fame's a state of grace
If you need a plastic surgeon
Honey I know an ace
You can't change your past
But he can change your face
She said
Take me walking where the surf is slow
He said
What's wrong with right here
I got places to go
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free

It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
He said
Baby take me far away from here
She said
You already arrived
Can't you see yourself clear
Life at the top
(alright alright)
Shaking the money tree
(alright alright)
Give it everything you got
(alright alright)
Shake it one time for me
(don't stop don't stop)
Life at the top
Down on your knees
Don't stop
Don't stop
Give it to me
Life at the top
Where nothing is free
It's alright
Alright baby won't you live it with me
(life at the top)
Down on your knees
It's alright
Alright baby live it with me
(life at the top)
This stealing thing you got
In the land of the free
(don't stop, don't stop)
So come on baby why won't you
Why don't you steal from me
(life at the top)
My my my my my my yeah
(life at the top)
It's alright
(life at the top)
It's alright
In real life
(life at the top)
Alright yeah
In the city of the angels
You can get it where you want it
Get it where you want it
Get where you wanna
Want it
Want it to be
