"Jacob's Ladder" by Huey Lewis - Junk or Genius?

[wyldwolf]

A comment on televangelism:

I met a fan dancer down in southside Birmingham

She was running from a fat man

Selling salvation in his hand.
Now he's trying to save me

Well
I'm doing all right the best that I can.
Just another falling angel trying to get through the night.

Step by step
one by one
higher and higher

Step by step
rung by rung
climbing Jacob's ladder.

Coming 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.

Step by step
one by one
higher and higher
. . .

All I want from tomorrow is to get it better than today.
Step by step
one by one
higher and higher

Step by step
rung by rung
climbing and climbing

Step by step
one by one
step by step
rung by rung

Step by step
step by step
step by step.

1. Actually I preferred

Jesus He Loves Me by Genesis as the anti-televangelist song.
