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
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
