Sweet Smell of Success

You work your way up
every day you try
to make life worth living
Aiming for the top.

You never want to stop
The day of glory is waiting.

Living on the edge
You still hold the stage
You don't want to retire.
You run for dear life
Standing in the first line
It's your heart's desire.

Hey stray!
Happiness is only the way.
It will all dissipate
When you succeed in the end.
When you get it all.
When you don't want more
You feel like the lowest of the low.

Straight way of your life
how not to waste time
when the days are running...
Wide eyes of the world
look at you with pride
(your) lucky star's still shining.
