James Reyne - Poor Man In The Penthouse lyrics

Well I don't know the reason It came from nowhere But this street just got paved with gold Well I kicked my gong Right out of there Now I'm sitting on top of the world Sitting on top of the world Who put that stone in the water Who threw that salt on the sea Chorus ~ The poor man in the penthouse The poor man in the penthouse The poor man in the penthouse Down on his knees Crying too much of nothing Now we sit together The skyline and me We've got no worries no cares And if I stayed here forever Where would I be Alone at the top of the stairs Alone at the top of the stairs Well I've never climbed any mountains But I've seen them everywhere Chorus The dog's got his bone in the alley This old cat's got nine lives to spare
