1. It started out innocent
Somebody trying to win
Like everybody else
I could see it changing over night
All the stars fell in line
Now I find myself
Chorus:
On the top of the universe
Got gold in a silver purse
A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone
Is it all that cracked up to be
If I lose even just a part of me
A dream can be a curse
Can the clock be reversed
From the top of the universe
2. No longer scared of being bruised
I've paid my dues
For a bright and shiny crown
I'm balancing between truth and lies
Walking on a wire
It's a long way down
Chorus:
From the top of the universe
Got gold in a silver purse
A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone
Is it all that cracked up to be
If I lose even just a part of me
A dream can be a curse
Can the clock be reversed
From the top of the universe
Bridge:
I've always wondered why
The brightest lights
Are quick to fade and fast to die
On the top of the universe
On the top of the universe
Top of the universe
Chorus:
On the top of the universe
Got gold in a silver purse
A queen on a throne I'm up here all alone
Is it all that cracked up to be
If I lose even just a part of me
A dream can be a curse
Can the clock be reversed
From the top of the universe
