Straight to the Top Lyrics

I'm going straight to the top
Oh yeah, up where the air is fresh and clean
I'm going straight up to the top
If you know me, you know what I mean
I can't let sorrow try and pull ol' Frankie down
Live for tomorrow, I have found you
I'm going straight up to the top
Up where the air is fresh and clean
I know that I will never stop, oh no
Until I know I'm wild and free
Just like a champagne bubble
Pop, pop, pop
I'm like those birdies high up in the trees
I can't let sorrow pull ol' Frankie down
Live for tomorrow, I have found you
I'm going straight up to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is fresh and clean

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'd be shocked if this song wasn't about getting high ("if you know me, you know what I mean"). Especially being from the album, "Frank's Wild Years"; I'd say it kind of fits with the whole theme.
