When you climb to the top of the mountain
Look out over the sea
Think about the places perhaps where young men could be
Then you jump back down to the rooftops
Look out over the town
Think about all of the strange things circulating 'round
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
Well, all the people have got their problems (William)
That ain't nothing new (William)
With the help of the good Lord
We can all pull on through
We can all pull on through
Get there and with the end
Sometimes it'll take you right up
And sometimes down again
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down
Satisfaction, satisfaction (Satisfaction)
Keep me satisfied (Keep me satisfied)
I got the love of a hoochie-coochie woman
She's calling from inside (Ah)
She's calling from inside (Calling from inside)
Tryna get to you
All the woman really wants, you can give her something, too
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going down (Down, down)
(Going down, down, down)
William (William)
William (William)
William (William)
Oh
All I can do is watch you leave
Wondering how I could be so naïve
To think you might actually save me
To hope you might cushion the fall
Did you ever see me at all?
It's all happening
It's all happening (It's all happening)
It's all
It's all
Happening!
It ain't easy! (No, it ain't easy)
No, it ain't easy
It ain't easy to get to heaven when you're going
Down!
