Jacob`s Ladder Lyrics

Jacob's ladderLike rusty old nails at the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales, for the good of the admiralty
You jump when you're told to through the open door
And the King of Norway, he's the man you all died forOn this, Jacob's ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's ladderAnd they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slainA thousand lifetimes, left standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall, they're sure the boat won't rock
In a file marked secret's in a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders because nobody knowsOn this Jacob's ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's ladderAnd they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slainAnd they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain

And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slainOn this Jacob's ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drownOn this Jacob's ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's ladderSooner or later
We'll dig up the body and try your cadaver
Sooner or later
We'll dig up the body and try your cadaver
Sooner or laterJacob's ladder
