 PRINCE - The Ladder Lyrics

Once upon a time in the land of Sinaplenty
There lived a king who didn't deserve 2 be
He knew not where he came from
Nor where he was going
He never once said thank U, never please

Now this king he had a subject named Electra
Who loved him with a passion, uncontested
4 him each day she had a smile
But it didn't matter
The king was looking 4 the ladder
g5!9414,212231,!!18c

Everybody's looking 4 the ladder
g5!9414,212231,!!18c
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps U take are no easy road
But the reward is great
4 those who want 2 go

A feeling of self-worth [everybody's looking]
will caress U [for the answers]
The size of the whole wide world will decrease [how the story started]
[and how it will end]
The love of God's creation will undress U
And time spent alone my friend, will cease

Everybody's looking 4 the answers
How the story started and how it will end
What's the use in half a story, half a dream
U have 2 climb all of the steps in between [yeah, we ride]

Everybody's looking 4 the ladder
g5!9414,212231,!!18c
Everybody wants salvation of the soul
The steps U take are no easy road [the steps you take are no easy road]
[it's not that easy]
But the reward is great
4 those who want 2 go [I do]

everybody everybody's looking [Everybody's looking 4 the answers]
for the answers
everybody wants to know how the story [How the story started]
started and how it will end [started and how it will end]
What's the use in half a story, [What's the use in half a story]
half a dream [half of a dream]
U, U gotta climb, U gotta climb [U have 2 climb all]
all of the steps in between [the steps in between]

everybody,
Everybody's looking 4 that ladder [Everybody's looking 4 the ladder]
Everybody wants salvation of the soul [Everybody wants salvation of the soul]
[salvation]
The steps U take are no easy road [the steps you take are no easy road]
[that's for sure]
But the reward is great [the reward is great]
4 those who want 2 go, [4 those who want 2 go]
those who want 2 go

everybody everybody wants [Everybody's looking 4 the answers]
an answer
anyone who know how the story [How the story started]
started, how it will end [started and how it will end]
will it be lonely in the world [What's the use in half a story]
What's the use? [half of a dream]
[have 2 climb all]
[the steps in between]
