Lyrics

Sunrise and sunset
Since the beginning, it hasn't changed yet
Some people fly high, begin to lose sight, it's horrible
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight
It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up on your way down
Vintage wines from the year '62
It's your thing now, it's your thing, it pleases you
You've got to frown when you cross town
You think it's an honor just to have you around
It's high time that you found
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet up on your way down
You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rise and sets and shines on the poor folks too
I don't mind you turning 'round
I myself would even like a little higher ground
Well it's high time that you found
The same people you walk on on your way up
You might meet 'em, yes you will, on your way down
Have mercy
