Bottom Of The Ladder

	I’m at the bottom rung of the ladder, baby
	how could I keep climbin' on up
	here I stand with a lightning rod in my hand
	but the light strikes at the top
	Well the days are dark
	like the peeling bark
	of a dyin' hemlock tree
	where the moon sets the sunrise forever
	I’ll be forced to climb
	or else the same I’ll forever be
	One day I’ll dive right over the Rhine
	no longer could I lie or keep from cryin'
	out loud I’ll run, like a donkey does in the sun
	alone, not two, apart from you, wild an’ gone
	Well the days are dark
	like the peeling bark
	of a dyin' hemlock tree
	where the moon sets the sunrise forever
	I’ll be forced to climb
	or else the same I’ll forever be
