I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham   She was running from a fat man selling salvation in his hand   She said he's trying to save me   But I'm doing alright, the best that Ican   Just a pair of fallen angels trying to get through the night      Step by step, one by one, higher and higher   Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder      Coming over the airwaves the man says I'm overdue   Sing a song, send money, join the chosen few   But mister I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to be like you   All I want from tomorrow is just to get it better than today      Step by step, one by one, higher and higher   Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder      All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today   Step by step, one by one, higher and higher   Step by step, one by one, climbing Jacob's ladder
