When I saw you standing there
Right across the room
Short on cash, Long on class
She knew she'd found her fool
And I can't deny
Can't keep my eyes off you
Looked everywhere, now I swear
I must have missed a clue
They always say, You look away
When you know you're gonna lose
I can't deny
Anything's worth a woman like you

Took a look from higher ground
Nowhere to go but down

There's candlelight, diamonds bright
There are kings and queens
The fear inside is that we'll find
That they're just common thieves
And they can't deny
They're living beyond there means

Took a look from higher ground
Nowhere to go but down

High on the mountain top
Built on shaky ground
The rains are coming
And there's trouble all around
The river's rising
And the bridge is washing out
Your shop is sinking
And there's nowhere to go but down

On this road all alone
I hope you're gonna find
Your heart of stone
Cuts to the bone
To get to the bottom line
And you can't deny
No but you better believe

Took a look from higher ground
Nowhere to go but down

Took a look from higher ground
Nowhere to go but down

Took a look from higher ground
Nowhere to go but down

Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
Nowhere to go but down
