Every day is an endless train
You got to ride it to the end of the line
Be a troubleshooter blow the bad luck away
And you will make it to your station on time

And you'll find out every trick in the book
And that's there's only one way to get things done
You'll find out the only way to the top
Is looking out for number one
I mean you keep looking out for number one

Every night is a different game
We got to work for our fortune and fame
Success is a ladder take a step at a time
And the people will remember your name

Yes I found out all the tricks of the trade
And that's there's only one way you're gonna get things done
I found out the only way to the top
Is looking out for number one
And that's me
I'm looking out for number one

Every day is an endless train
But I ride it to the end of the line
I'm a real troubleshooter and I blow it away
No one's gonna get what's mine

I found out every trick in the book
And that's there's only one way to get things done
I found out the only way to the top
Is looking out for number one
I mean, you keep looking out for number one
That's us, keep looking out for number one
That's me, i'm looking out for number one

1. Love the guitar work on that! -- do you remember this one?

When the mornin' comes
You'll know by my shoes
I've been out walking
If I don't return
You'll know I've found something to believe in, to believe in
Down, Down

Waiting for the sun
My heart will surely break if it starts raining
It's the oasis I seek
'Cause the sand of the desert makes me thirsty, makes me thirsty

Down, down we all go down
'Round, 'round we all go 'round
Down, down we all go down
We all go down-down-down-down

If I learn to fly
You know I'll go places never been before
If I reach a star
You know I will dwell on it forever, forever

There are mysteries
My children have rhymes with hidden meanings
If I learn the truth
I'm sure that the end will leave me crying, leave me crying
