Cardboard Ladders
Ladders made of cardboard
That I try to climb
Up a slippery mountain
With no other side
So what about this mountain
Is it really there?
Or am I just seeing things?
There's nothing there
So tell me
What good will it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
And lose her soul
And all the caterpillars
In their hurried piles
Wanna make a million (gonna make it)
They'll have to leave behind in dust
'Cause all our days are numbered
Round and round we go
In our own agendas
Not recognizing gold
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/charlotte+martin/cardboard+ladders_20515310.html ]
So tell me
What good will it be for a man
To gain the whole world
So tell me
What good will it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
And lose her soul
I can't keep turning my back on
I can't keep turning my back on
The horizon
I can't keep turning my back on (the horizon)
I can't keep turning my back on
The horizon
I can't keep turning my back on (the horizon)
I can't keep turning my back on
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
In the crooked tunnels
Hallways closing in
Remember where you're going
Remember where you've been
(Remember that I love you
Remember that I love you
Remember that I love you)
I'll tell you
What good could it be for a woman
To gain the whole world
Tell me
What good will it be for a man
To gain the whole world
And lose his soul
