Lyric Straight To the Top (Rhumba)

Written by Tom Waits and Greg Cohen


I m going straight to the top
oh yea up where the air is
fresh and clean
I m going straight up to the top
if you know me, you know what I mean
I can t let sorrow
try and pull ol Frankie down
live for tomorrow I have found you
I m going straight up to the top
up where the air is fresh and clean
i know that I will never stop, oh no
until I know I m wild and free
just like a champagne bubble
pop pop pop
I m like those birdies
high up in the trees
I can t let sorrow
pull ol Frankie down
live for tomorrow
I have found you
I m going straight up to the top oh yeah
up where the air is fresh and clean
