lyrics

I'd like to call to mind
The image of a ladder
It's a corporate construction
And the only thing that mattered to me
And my misplaced dreams

But I climbed so high
I couldn't see the bottom
I looked outside
Felt the cool breeze of autumn
And I just felt so tired

So I gave up on myself
I took the easy way out
I fell rung by rung
I sleep beneath the ottoman now
Just beneath your feet

We'll put you right where you belong
Sum your whole life up in a song
