Lyrics On Top of the World - Deep Purple
Hot
summer
night,
the
working
girls
were
on
their
way
back
home
It
was
getting
late
so
I
tagged
along,
couldn't
let
them
walk
alone
I
followed
them
up
some
greasy
steps
to
a
rooftop
in
the
sky
No
walls
around
just
a
sea
of
stars,
my
throat
was
getting
dry
Everyone
could
feel
the
heat
that's
why
we
all
disrobed
Our
clothes
and
inhibitions
went
off
flying
'cross
the
globe
Dancing
crazy
getting
loose
and
closer
to
the
edge
I
could
feel
my
blood
was
up
and
it
was
pounding
in
my
head
So
there
I
was,
just
me
and
the
girls
Under
the
moonlight
on
the
top
of
the
world
As
things
were
dying
down
we
retreated
from
the
precipice
I
lay
beside
the
most
beautiful
girl
in
the
universe
Her
name
was
Venus
in
Heaven
She
fed
me
rice
and
offered
me
wine
I
accepted
ambrosia
and
nectar
From
an
amber
goddess
I
collapsed
between
the
thighs
of
Morpheus
Next
thing
I
felt
was
a
sharp
pain
of
sunrise
My
mouth
was
open
and
full
of
rice
As
I
managed
to
prize
open
one
of
my
eyes
I
saw
Luigi
the
cockroach
carry
off
his
prize
And
there
lay
Venus
still
sprawled
out
and
naked
for
sure
But
not
quite
what
she
was
the
night
before
I
made
my
excuses
and
left
through
the
door
Stepped
into
space
at
the
twentieth
floor
And
that's
why
I
don't
like
heights
no
more
