On Your Way Down

Sunrise and sunset

Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet

Some people fly high, begin to lose sight, it's horrible

You can't see very clearly when you're in flight

It's high time that you found

The same people you misuse on your way up

You might meet 'em on your way down

Vintage wines from the year '62

It's your thing now, it's your thing

It pleases you

You got to frown when you cross town

Think it's an honor, girl, just to have you around

It's high time that you found

The same dudes you misuse on your way up

You might meet 'em on your way down

Higher, higher, higher

Mm-hmm

You think the sun rises and sets for you

But the same sun rises, sets and shines on the poor folks too

I don't mind you turning 'round

I myself would even like a little higher ground

But it's high time that you found

The same people you walk on on your way up

You might meet 'em, yes you will, on your way down

Lord have mercy
