Poor Man In The Penthouse Lyrics - James Reyne

Well I don't know the reason 

It came from nowhere 

But this street just got paved with gold 

Well I kicked my gong 

Right out of there 

Now I'm sitting on top of the world 

Sitting on top of the world 

Who put that stone in the water 

Who threw that salt on the sea 

Chorus ~ 

The poor man in the penthouse 

The poor man in the penthouse 

The poor man in the penthouse 

Down on his knees 

Crying too much of nothing 

Now we sit together 

The skyline and me 

We've got no worries no cares 

And if I stayed here forever 

Where would I be 

Alone at the top of the stairs 

Alone at the top of the stairs 

Well I've never climbed any mountains 

But I've seen them everywhere 

Chorus
