Oh, when you're going to the top

And you have no time to stop

Then you have to travel light

Yes, you'd better go by night

Cos it's not a pretty sight

When youre going to the top

And you're never going to stop

You won't let nobody block

Your way to the top



And no bodies then may fall

Old friends up against the wall

Probably won't have much to say

If I see you passing by

Cos you're going much too high

And you may well never stop

Cos you're going to the top



La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la



You could let it go tonight

Watch it all fade out of sight

There's still some time to mend your ways

Don't you know it's love that pays?



Oh, yeah

Maybe we will meet one day

Probably won't have much to say

So I'll just say toodle-oo

And the best of luck to you



When I see you passing by

When you're going much too high

When you're going to the top

When you're going to the top

When you're going to the top

When you're going to the top



Like the stars up in the sky

Shining up all night

Like a king upon his throne

Everything his own



Like the stars up in the sky

Shining up a
