Up on the Catwalk (live) - Simple Minds

Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning

And Dollars to Deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven

And up on the catwalk, there's one hundred million

With letters from thousands that say [Just who are you?]

There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind

But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind

And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk

And I don't know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there

Up on the catwalk there's street politicians

That crawl in from Broadway, say then who are you

And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards

From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon

Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton And look around, to see just what is missing

And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother And dream of their boyfriends

And I don't know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there

Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need

Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats

And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby

You float through the night time, like manna from heaven

But what, what do I know, and just what do I know

And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens

And I don't know why and I don't know why

I don't know why

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there

I will be there, I will be there

Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need

Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me

Angel Angel Angel Angel

Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh Ah huh

One thousand names that spring up in my mind

One thousand names that spring up in my mind

Like Deodata, Michaelangelo, Robert de Niro, so many others

Natasia Kinski and Martin Luther - there's room for others, away from me

Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk

I don't know why.
