Sheer Fall

Top of the world, Ma — See those little fingers down there? Those tiny rivers runnin’ thru the valley — You fall, you won’t be repaired Gimme pickaxe, gimme rope-ladder Gimme both McKinley and Everest I think best at highest altitudes I’m hottest at my grooviest Sheer fall — You’re goin down You’re goin down all the way (2x) You know the Donner Party was up in these parts And they ate each other up Much like those handsome boys from Brazil Who were tryin’ to win the World Cup When you finally scale that mountain, Of course there ain’t nobody to witness And then your ego sends the avalanche down And you’re a sacrifice to physical fitness Sheer fall — You’re goin down You’re goin down all the way (2x)
