Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder (Huey Lewis & The News 1987) 11/7

I met a fan dancer

I told him that I didn’t believe in god

Now he’s trying to save me

He presses hands on stomach

Says he can take out this cancer

I met a fan dancer

I told him I had no time for tumors

That my hands ached and

Now he’s trying to save me

“From what?” I asked and he smiles

Smiles and presses into my flesh

I met a fan dancer

Somewhere in an airport

And his hands up inside me

Now he’s trying to save me

He says and I watch the blood well up

And he pulls this black thing from me

I met a fan dancer

Now he’s trying to save me
