Jacob's Ladder

Why don’t they tell ya how to be happy

When they tell ya how to be?

Or why what works for them

Has gotta work for me?

They try to make it all look so easy

Like they have some Midas touch

But it’s just gold-plated things

And coverup

Does anybody really know how to find Jacob’s ladder?

It’s a hard road to heaven the long way around

One step up, two steps down

One step up, two steps down

Is a cup half full or empty

If they would have me believe

The only guarantee you get

Is there’s no guarantees?

Does anybody really know how to find Jacob’s ladder?

It’s a hard road to Heaven the long way around

One step up, two steps down

One step up, two steps down

I’m waiting

I’m down here waiting

Waving a white flag down here waiting

I’m waiting

Does anybody really know how to find Jacob’s ladder?

Cause it’s a hard road to heaven the long way around

One step up, two steps down

One step up, two steps down

One step up, two steps down

Why don’t they tell ya how to be happy

When they tell ya how to be?
