I've always tried to be honest and fair But sometimes people get caught up in my hair Seems when the chips are down it's everyman for himself Trusting people is a dangerous game Changing faces really drive you insane One day you know where you are and then the fog comes down chorus Oh...if the tide of fortune starts turning And if your luck starts turning around And if the carpet on which you've been walking Turns to stoney ground...remember The higher you climb the further there is to fall The higher you climb the further there is to fall The smell of success is a powerful drug It seems some people just can't get enough If a door is closed they'll try and kick it down Never mind the people who get in the way They just use and abuse and laugh in your face When you think they're a friend they might just let you down chorus solo I'll tell you something and this I believe If we help each other and take what we need There is no need to fight there's enough to go around I have been a victim I have been let down So there's no use old friends coming around My memory is good-I don't forget a thing ! chorus The higher you climb the further there is to fall
