Snakes and Ladders

Joni Mitchell, Larry Klein

He
In a shopping mall
Finally met the perfect girl
She is all that matters
The only one in all the world
Like a Barbie doll
Oh, love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

She
Just to have and hold
Is the perfect air-brushed angel
Breaks your heart just looking at her
Stapled into all his braincells
Like a centerfold
Oh, love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Buy the townhouse (get to the top)
Call the preacher (and slide back down)
Get to the bottom climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Set up credit for the
Lovely creature (get to the top and slide back down)
The lovely creature (get to the bottom, climb back up)

He
On a corporate climb
Set his sights on power for her
On a silver platter
He gave up happy hour for her
Perrier and lime
Oh, love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

She
In a handsome world
Put her mind to social graces
All the privileged chatter
Setting pretty table places
For the girls in pearls
Our love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Buy the carphone (get to the top)
Call the broker (and slide back down)
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Buy the wife
A diamond choker (get to the top and slide back down)
A diamond choker (get to the bottom, climb back up)

True love, true love, true love
He's so nervous
New love, new love, new love
When he's with her
Oh, he's wasting away
True love, true love, true love
It's so curious
New love, new love, new love
Just to kiss her
To kiss her, to kiss her, to kiss her
To kiss her, to kiss her, to kiss her
To kiss her, he has to shave

She
In the gilded mirrors
In the swing of fancy places
Where the black ties flatter
Started seeing other faces
Young fogie financiers
Oh, love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

See
In the crimes of time
How the seasons steal away
How the rungs are shattered
First you're green, then you're grey
Still the snakes unwind
Still playin' snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Sell the vineyard (get to the top)
Call the lawyer (and slide back down)
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom, climb back up
Gather garbage
To destroy her (get to the top and slide back down)
To destroy her (get to the bottom, climb back up)

Ladders, ladders, ladders
The perfect girl
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The paper chase (love is snakes and ladders)
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The social whirl
Ladders, ladders
The rat race (Barbie doll)

Ladders, ladders, ladders
The perfect girl
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The paper chase (love is snakes and ladders)
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The social whirl
Ladders, ladders
The rat race (Barbie doll)

Ladders, ladders, ladders
The perfect girl
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The paper chase (love is snakes and ladders)
Ladders, ladders, ladders
The social whirl
Ladders, ladders
The rat race (Barbie doll)
