I've always tried to be honest and fair
But sometimes people get caught up in my hair
Seems when the chips are down it's everyman for himself
Trusting people is a dangerous game
Changing faces really drive you insane
One day you know where you are and then the fog comes down
chorus
Oh...if the tide of fortune starts turning
And if your luck starts turning around
And if the carpet on which you've been walking
Turns to stoney ground...remember
The higher you climb the further there is to fall
The higher you climb the further there is to fall
The smell of success is a powerful drug
It seems some people just can't get enough
If a door is closed they'll try and kick it down
Never mind the people who get in the way
They just use and abuse and laugh in your face
When you think they're a friend they might just let you down
chorus
solo
I'll tell you something and this I believe
If we help each other and take what we need
There is no need to fight there's enough to go around
I have been a victim I have been let down
So there's no use old friends coming around
My memory is good-I don't forget a thing !
chorus
The higher you climb the further there is to fall
