I met a fan dancer
Down in South Side Birmingham
She [bad word] from a fat man
Selling salvation in his hand
Now he’s trying to save me
But I’m doing alright
The best that I can
Just another fallen angel
Trying to get through the night
 [bad word] 
Step by step, one by one
Higher and higher
Step by [bad word] by rung
Climbing Jacob’s ladder [bad word] over the airwaves
The man says I’m overdue
Sing along, send some money
Join the chosen few
Well mister I’m not in a hurry
And I don’t want to be like you
And all I want from tomorrow
Is to get it better than today
