On Your Way Down Lyrics
Sunrise, sunset
Since the beginning, it hasn't changed yet
People fly high, begin to loose sight
But you can't see very clearly, when you're in flight
Well it's high time (backing vocals)
That you find
The same people that you must use on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down
Vintage wines from the year sixty two
Is your thing, is your thing
(Backing vocals) is your thing, is your thing
What pleases you
Not to be found for you cross town
The thing is for other girls just to have you around
Well it's high time
That you find
The same dudes that you must use on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down
(Yeah) You feel the sunrise, set for you
But the same sunrise is step and shine, for the old folks due
I don't mind, your turn around
I myself would even like for a little higher ground
It's high time (backing vocals)
That you find Mr G
The same people you work hard on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down
Since the beginning, it hasn't changed yet
People fly high, begin to loose sight
But you can't see very clearly, when you're in flight
That you find
The same people that you must use on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down
Is your thing, is your thing
(Backing vocals) is your thing, is your thing
What pleases you
Not to be found for you cross town
The thing is for other girls just to have you around
That you find
The same dudes that you must use on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down
But the same sunrise is step and shine, for the old folks due
I don't mind, your turn around
I myself would even like for a little higher ground
That you find Mr G
The same people you work hard on your way up
You might meet up (pause) on your way down

This song always reminds me of a d bag boss I had once. He took credit for everything good and passed the buck on everything HE messed up.
He wouldn't back me on an incident that the Congressman's personal secretary screwed up and he took to reaming me out in front of the personal secretary just to show his "control" of the situation and to "teach me" to never fail on directions from a congressman's office. Everyone in the agency knew it was going to hit "the fan" and I was a dead man walking.
The secretary had all his notes and proof that I screwed up after all. He had dates and had times and even the length of the phones calls we had. He had everything written down. He even had notes in different inks from different days contacts. Amazing the detail and efficiency. Unbelievable how he kept track of everything.
Well... except he never gave me the assignment and his proof was BS. And I told my boss and the secretary after they finished their "show". See, I was on my honeymoon vacation for the two weeks surrounding the dates the assignment was given and the dates we spoke. My boss should have known because he had been to my wedding and he approved my leave. (He was only invited for political reasons) After the incident, the congressman apologized to me and my boss was given a "special assignment" with another government agency. He never returned to his old job. The secretary later entered politics and ran for congress himself. He lost the primary by 70%. They used me on their way up, but I got the last laugh on their way down.
It reminds me of some good times, but these lyrics are wrong. "The people you MUST USE" should be "...people you MISUSE..." AND in the verse about wine, it should say, "IT'S your thing, IT'S your thing,..."
