Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up on the catwalk a big wheel is spinnin'
And dollars to Deutschmarks, and pennies from Heaven
And up on the catwalk there's one hundred million
With letters from thousands that say, "Just who are you?"
[Verse 2]
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, and up on the catwalk
And I don't know why
[Verse 3]
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
[Verse 4]
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 post cards
From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon
[Verse 5]
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton
And look around to see just what is missing
And up on the catwalk, and girls call for mother
And dream of their boyfriends, and I don't know why
[Verse 6]
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
[Verse 7]
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
[Verse 8]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
[Verse 9]
Up on the catwalk and you dress in waist coats
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby
And float through the night time like manna from Heaven
But, but what do I know? And just what do I know?
And up on the catwalk, and in sweat that glistens
And I don't know why
And I don't know why, I don't know why
[Verse 10]
I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
I will be there, I will be there
[Verse 11]
Tonight, under the crystal light, I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light, surrender everything to me
[Verse 12]
Angel, angel, angel, angel
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
[Verse 13]
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like Deodata, Michelangelo, Robert De Niro, so many others
Natasha Kinski, and Martin Luther
There's room for others away from me, oh
Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don't know why
Up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
I don't know why
