I met a fan dancer   Down in south side Birmingham   She was running from a fat man selling salvation   In his hand      Now he's trying to save me   Well I'm doing alright the best that I can   Just another fallen angel   Trying to get through the night      Step by step, one by one, higher and higher   Step by step, rung by rung climbing Jacob's ladder      Coming over the airwaves   The man says I'm overdue   Sing along, send some money   Join the chosen few      Hey, Mister I'm not in a hurry   And I don't want to be like you   And all I want from tomorrow   Is to get it better than today      Step by step, one by one, higher and higher   Step by step, rung by rung 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, rung by rung climbing and climbing      Step by step, one by one   Step by step, rung by rung   Step by step   Step by step   Step by step
