Which Way To The Top? Lyrics

Where did you leave your baby
Bleeding in her bed
Her ghost has come to stay
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away

In the bar we sit like blackbirds
With our broken wings
Like clocks without their springs
Just like time doesn't mean anything

Chorus:
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here

We used to ride around in a broken down old car
But now I'm changing trains
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between

Mom and Dad are fast asleep now
But I'll be wide awake
A surfer in the break
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade

Chorus

You better get it now while
The getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
You better get it now while
The getting's good
Get it now while it's happening, oh yeah

Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Cover art for Which Way To The Top? lyrics by Fastball

This song really gives me a good, relaxed feeling from hearing it. I like the backround vocals towards the end of the song by Poe. In my opinion this song is about the rise to stardom and fame for Fastball.

This song is about an alcoholic and/or drug addict that lets time pass and doesn't think about paying attention to the best things in life or becoming successful. Now, he finally realizes what he has done and wants to know "Which way to the top?" or How do I become successful?

P.S. I'm surprised there arent more comments on this song. It's great!
