So I chased myself up a tree
There was no one there before me
I hung on hours before I fell asleep
Some dogs around the neighborhood became so incensed with me

'Cause they can't get to me
Where I am, ladders wait to see

Ladders wait to see what I need
Nothing that they got interests me
Some days ahead that there's no reasoning
Things that have plagued others are now happening to me

And they can get to me
Where I am, ladders climb the tree

[Guitar solo]

Ladders line the branches of the tree
Waiting for their chances to get at me
I think this has to be seen to believe
Nothing I can offer will convince them all to leave
