The Ladder |
| Once upon a time in the land of sinaplenty |
| There lived a king who didn’t deserve 2 be He knew not where he came from |
| Nor where he was going |
| He never once said thank u, never please |
| Now this king he had a subject named electra |
| Who loved him with a passion, uncontested |
| 4 him each day she had a smile |
| But it didn’t matter |
| The king was looking 4 the ladder |
| Everybody’s looking 4 the ladder |
| Everybody wants salvation of the soul |
| The steps u take are no easy road |
| But the reward is great |
| 4 those who want 2 go A feeling of self-worth (everybody's looking) |
| Will caress u (for the answers) |
| The size of the whole wide world will decrease (how the story started) |
| (and how it will end) |
| The love of god’s creation will undress u And time spent alone my friend, will cease |
| Everybody’s looking 4 the answers |
| How the story started and how it will end |
| What’s the use in half a story, half a dream |
| U have 2 climb all of the steps in between (yeah, we ride) |
| Everybody’s looking 4 the ladder |
| Everybody wants salvation of the soul |
| The steps u take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy road) |
| (it's not that easy) |
| But the reward is great |
| 4 those who want 2 go (i do) |
| Everybody… everybody’s looking (everybody's looking 4 the answers) |
| For the answers |
| Everybody wants to know how the story (how the story started) |
| Started and how it will end (started and how it will end) |
| What’s the use in half a story, (what's the use in half a story) |
| Half a dream (half of a dream) |
| U, u gotta climb, u gotta climb (u have 2 climb all) |
| All of the steps in between (the steps in between) |
| Everybody, |
| Everybody’s looking 4 that ladder (everybody's looking 4 the ladder) |
| Everybody wants salvation of the soul (everybody wants salvation of the soul) |
| (salvation) |
| The steps u take are no easy road (the steps you take are no easy road) |
| (that's for sure) |
| But the reward is great (the reward is great) |
| 4 those who want 2 go, (4 those who want 2 go) |
| Those who want 2 go Everybody… everybody wants (everybody's looking 4 the answers) |
| An answer |
| Anyone who know how the story (how the story started) |
| Started, how it will end (started and how it will end) |
| Will it be lonely in the world (what's the use in half a story) |
| What’s the use? |
| (half of a dream) |
| (have 2 climb all) |
| (the steps in between) |
