Steppenwolf - Your Wall's Too High lyrics

Words and music by John Kay

Your wall's too high, I can't see

Can't seem to reach you, can't set you free

If you can hear me, follow the sound

And help me tear your wall down to the ground

Everyone gets hurt sometimes

Everybody plays the game

If you don't win the first time

Come back and try again

Rocks and bricks can't help you

You can't hide behind your wall

Why don't you try to jump it little girl

I'll catch you if you fall

Ah, sometimes early in the mornin'

Without warnin' you'll realize

That you ain't too wise

With your head bowed down you go downtown

Watch an old lady hit the ground

Lots of people standin' round

But nobody seems to know her

You're an hour late when you reach your floor

Ah, and everybody tells you

That your boss is sore

Watch the clock for seven more

Then go flyin' through the door

Back home again the day is gone

You're safe and sound but still alone

And when the night falls around your walls

Ah, tell me don't you ever wish to go outside

Follow the lights and go outside

You'll be alright, just go outside
