On top of the world, on top of the world, on top of the world
On top of the world, on top of the world, on top of the world
On top of the world, that's where it all went wrong
You freaked out on the way to Houston and had to call your Mom
To come and pick you up, and take you home
Screaming 'I can't take it any more', there was nothing be done
On top of the world
There was so much pressure on you
On top of the world
So much relying on you
So it's no wonder, no wonder
Everything started to crack on top of the world
It's 1964 - no-one knows what to do
Your friends don't talk about their feelings, they don't reach out to you
Voices in your head, you're acting really strange
And you know you can't keep going on like this, something's gonna have to change
Now you're on top of the world
There's so much pressure on you
On top of the world
So much relying on you
So it's no wonder, no wonder
Everything started to crack on top of the world
You swore that you would never tour again
Just stay home in bed and write the songs
Glen Campbell sat in and sang the high parts
While the interband relationships fell apart
But you're on top of the world
What if you fell, what if you fell from on top of the world
On top of the world
What if you fell, what if you fell, from on top of the world
So it's no wonder, everything started to crack on top of the world
