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 I can

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
