helter-skelter of a life
searching for the ever open door
no sooner I think I'm at the top
when I find myself back on the floor

a long climb up life's steep hill
the world's problems on my back
a fall from grace slows the pace
I'm at the bottom of the stack

my life of snakes and ladders
treading carefully as I go
surviving the ladder of success
is more tricky than you'd know

one foot wrong then you're gone
it should come as no surprise
the snakes waiting in the wings
plotting your demise

snakes pretend to be your friend
so be careful who you trust
don't be surprised who told the lies
even though it leaves you crushed

head like a spinning top
trying to watch every which way
the snake takes a bite slows up your fight
the one who ruins your day

trying to hang onto the ladder of life
as snakes try to take you down 
taking one step at a time
as danger lurks around
