Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hot summer night
The working girls roam their way back home
It was getting late, so I tagged along
Couldn't let them walk alone
Followed them up some greasy steps
To a rooftop in the sky
No walls around, just a sea of stars
My throat was getting dry
[Verse 2]
Everyone could feel the heat
That's why we on this road
Our clothes and inhibitions
Went off flying across the globe
Dancing crazy, getting lose
And closer to the edge
I could feel my blood was up
And it was pounding in my head
[Verse 3]
So, there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight, on top of the world
Oh, yeah
On top of the world
[Verse 4]
So, there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight on top of the world
[Verse 5]
And as things were dying down
We were treated from the precipice
I laid beside the most beautiful girl in the universe
Her name was Venus in heaven
She fed me rice and offered me wine
I accepted and brought here a nectar from an amber goddess
I collapsed between the thighs of Morphias
Next thing I felt was a sharp pain at sunrise
My mouth was open and full of rice
As I managed to pry open one of my eyes
I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize
And there lay Venus, still sprawled out, and naked for sure
But not quite what she was the night before
I made my excuses and left through the door
Stepped into space of the twentieth floor
And that's why I don't like heights no more
