Where did you leave your baby Bleeding in her bed Her ghost has come to stay Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away In the bar we sit like blackbirds With our broken wings Like clocks without their springs Just like time doesn't mean anything Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here We used to ride around in a broken down old car But now I'm changing trains Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between Mom and Dad are fast asleep now But I'll be wide awake A surfer in the break Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave And a place in the shade Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here You better get it now while The getting's good Get it now while it's happening You better get it now while The getting's good Get it now while it's happening Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here

A faixa estreou como single principal em 7 de janeiro de 1998, emanando do segundo álbum de estúdio da banda, All the Pain Money Can Buy.
Tony Scalzo, baixista e vocalista, teve a ideia para a música após ler artigos jornalísticos sobre o desaparecimento de um casal de idosos casado.
O compositor descreve a obra como uma visão romantizada do desaparecimento, imaginando o casal fugindo para se divertir como no início de namorar.
A canção alcançou a primeira posição na parada Modern Rock Tracks da Billboard pelos Estados Unidos em abril de 1998.
O topo da parada foi mantido pela música por sete semanas consecutivas.
O início da gravação inclui o som de um rádio sintonizando estações FM, sendo possível identificar a faixa "Foolish Games", de 1997, da artista Jewel.
