Look up heaven's ladder
Watch the angels climb down
As if they knew what was the matter
With those down on the ground
Oblivious to danger
Those who walk up on the clouds
They'll tumble down
Down on the ground
Where there's nowhere else to go
But only further down into the hole
You could see the whole world down below
Down below
Down below
Where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
Anyone who's learned their lesson and burned their hand
They'll still look at someone else's answers if they can
'Cause cheating's better than guessing
When the answer is that there's none to be had
But you'll still wonder if there's nowhere else to go
But only further down into the hole
See the whole world down below
Down below
Down below where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
Now that you know how high the hook and ladder goes
From the highest rung down to the lowest low
And now you know that there's nowhere else to go
But only further down into the hole
You could see the whole world down below
Down below
Down below
Heaven's ladder
It only goes as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
Look up heaven's ladder
See the angels climb down
With their eyes all full of stars
And their heads in the clouds
Oblivious to danger
With the failure to keep both feet on the ground
And when the sun sets on you then you go
When you're shackled to the shadow and the ghost
You could learn to leave the long lost days alone
Down below
Down below
Where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
Anyone who's learned their lesson and burned their hands
They'll steal someone else's answers if they can
'Cause cheating's better than guessing
When the answer is that there's none to be had
And when the sun sets on you then you go
When you're shackled to the shadow and the ghost
You could learn to leave the long lost days alone
Down below
Down below
Where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
Now that you know how high the hook and ladder goes
From the highest rung down to the lowest low
And when the sun sets on you then you go
When you're shackled to the shadow and the ghost
You could learn to leave the long lost days alone
Down below
Down below
Where there's nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere and then you're on your own
