The Ladder

Written by Liz Siegel

I am rocking myself to sleep
I am holding myself too steep
I guess I am held to a different kind of standard
But I promise you I won’t lose myself in this manner

But I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up
The ladder

Eyes watching your every move
Pace all your steps, be sure you don’t lose the groove
I always try, to put everything into perspective
You did the crime, but oh lord did I learn the lesson

Cause I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up
The ladder

(Ska-ba-dootin')

Cause I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up, going down, going up, going down, going up
