Poor Man In The Penthouse

Well I don't know the reason

It came from nowhere

But this street just got paved with gold

Well I kicked my gong

Right out of there

Now I'm sitting on top of the world

Sitting on top of the world

Who put that stone in the water

Who threw that salt on the sea

The poor man in the penthouse

The poor man in the penthouse

The poor man in the penthouse

Down on his knees

Crying too much of nothing

Now we sit together

The skyline and me

We've got no worries no cares

And if I stayed here forever

Where would I be

Alone at the top of the stairs

Alone at the top of the stairs

Well I've never climbed any mountains

But I've seen them everywhere

The dog's got his bone in the alley

This old cat's got nine lives to spare
