Lonely At The Bottom

(альбом: Lonesome Standard Time - 1992)

We were buddies once upon a time
And then you took off on your social climb
But fortune only brought you misery
And now you're crying out for sympathy

Well, it's lonely at the top
Yea, it's lonely at the top
Well, if this working girl were you
She'd just enjoy the view
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too

You're living high on easy street
And we're just trying to make ends meet
If you get tired of the grind
We'll I'll take your place and honey you take mine

Well, it's lonely at the top
Yea, it's lonely at the top
Well, if this working girl were you
She'd just enjoy the view
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too

Like a kitten in the neighbor's tree
Climbing up to see what you could see
Now you're crying, 'cause you need some help
Well, everybody's got to help themselves

Well, it's lonely at the top
Yea, it's lonely at the top
Well, if this working girl were you
She'd just enjoy the view
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too

Oh honey, I feel so sorry for you
All the way up there all by yourself
Well, if this working girl were you
She'd just enjoy the view
'Cause it's lonely at the bottom too
Lonely at the bottom too
