Up On The Catwalk Lyrics - Sparkle In The Rain - 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.
