Daddy’s up a Ladder
Came home last night
Full Moon Shining bright
Chest felt tight
Thought I needed some height
Chorus
Daddy’s up a ladder and he won’t come down
Daddy’s up a ladder and he won’t come down
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy
Ladder, Ladder, Ladder
Came home today
Happy in a sad sort of way
Bird had sung
Had to go up another rung
I tried a pole, I tried holes
But they didn’t touch my soul
I tried hills, I tried pills
But ladders give me a special thrill
Take me home
I need to be alone
Baby up I go
Leave everybody down below
Came home tonight
No stars, no moon, no light
Short of breath
I’m going to climb until there’s no ladder left
I tried stairs, I tried chairs
Got to escape from my cares
I’ve used a box, worn thicker socks
Only ladders let me touch the top
