TOP OF THE UNIVERSE 1. It started out innocent Somebody trying to win Like everybody else I could see it changing over night All the stars fell in line Now I find myself Chorus: On the top of the universe Got gold in a silver purse A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone Is it all that cracked up to be If I lose even just a part of me A dream can be a curse Can the clock be reversed From the top of the universe 2. No longer scared of being bruised I've paid my dues For a bright and shiny crown I'm balancing between truth and lies Walking on a wire It's a long way down Chorus: From the top of the universe Got gold in a silver purse
A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone Is it all that cracked up to be If I lose even just a part of me A dream can be a curse Can the clock be reversed From the top of the universe Bridge: I've always wondered why The brightest lights Are quick to fade and fast to die On the top of the universe On the top of the universe Top of the universe Chorus: On the top of the universe Got gold in a silver purse A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone Is it all that cracked up to be If I lose even just a part of me A dream can be a curse Can the clock be reversed From the top of the universe
