When I saw you standing there Right across the room Short on cash, Long on class She knew she'd found her fool And I can't deny Can't keep my eyes off you Looked everywhere, now I swear I must have missed a clue They always say, You look away When you know you're gonna lose I can't deny Anything's worth a woman like you
Took a look from higher ground Nowhere to go but down
There's candlelight, diamonds bright There are kings and queens The fear inside is that we'll find That they're just common thieves And they can't deny They're living beyond there means
Took a look from higher ground Nowhere to go but down
High on the mountain top Built on shaky ground The rains are coming And there's trouble all around The river's rising And the bridge is washing out Your shop is sinking And there's nowhere to go but down
On this road all alone I hope you're gonna find Your heart of stone Cuts to the bone To get to the bottom line And you can't deny No but you better believe
Took a look from higher ground Nowhere to go but down
Took a look from higher ground Nowhere to go but down
Took a look from higher ground Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down Nowhere to go but down Nowhere to go but down Nowhere to go but down
