When You’re On Top Songtext
von The Wallflowers

I need a bed / That nobody′s slept in
I need some air / Nobody's been breathing
I need a thought / That I can believe in
Is this fog / Or is the building really burning

I need you now / Much more than ever
I′m making new friends / But none of them matter
Maybe now / We don't fit together
But you've got your arms around / No one but strangers

Chorus:
I feel fine
With the sun in my eyes
The wind in my hair
I′m falling out of this sky
I′m doing better than I thought I would
But nothing's ever as good
As when you′re on top


I want to wake up / And just start running
Into a ditch / Or straight up a mountain
I want to get / What no one's been getting
Make it deeper than hell / Or make it higher than heaven

I need someone / Whose price hasn′t been met
When everybody's disappearing / By the minute
There isn′t anyone left / I haven't met yet
Well I remember / When they hadn't gotten to you yet

Chorus (x2)
When you′re on top

Half way up / And over this rainbow
I heard a shot / Fire up from the ghetto
As I drop / I didn′t think you'd follow
Just didn′t know / The sky was this shallow

I need a garden / Where nothing's forbidden
I need an apple / No one′s been eating
I want to start again / Back at the beginning
I had a vision / That this feeling maybe has an ending

Chorus (x2)
When you're on top

I need you now / Much more than ever
I want to start again / Back at the beginning

Chorus (fades)
