lyrics

I’m a big noise at the Sierra club, I’ve hiked the Appalachian trail, I’ve stood on top of Denali, I really don’t know how to fail
It’s the altitude not the attitude, it was a most beguiling flyer, but you can stand on top of the world coz’ the yellow brick road got higher

Here I am, with the lawyer and the scientist, the Republican evangelist, on the shoulder of the sky
All these freaks, well they’re ruining my appetite, here’s the money honey socialite
I’m a heartbeat from the top, I turn around and then, when I get to the bottom I am never going up again

Caught in the gridlock on the Hilary Step, and only three hundred feet to go, and there’s no app on the I-phone that can save me from the snow
Nobody told me I could be this cold, should have read the fine print way back when, and I wonder if I’ll ever see my wife and kids again

All used up, hope the Sherpas get me out of here, I’m at the mercy of the troposphere, damn it I can hardly crawl
Jesus Christ, I’m not one of those Tibetan guys, you said that I’d acclimatise, and a heartbeat from the top I turn around and then

When I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom


When I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom
When I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom
When I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom, when I get to the bottom
