Crowded House - Spirit of the Stairs (Studio Demo) lyrics
[Crowded House - Spirit of the Stairs Studio Demo lyrics]
You see the truth and you cannot hide
You're so in tune you feel it inside
Justice revenge tickle all over
Lily and sword damnation, reward
The spirit of the stairs
Everyone thinks but no one dares
Wishes made a sad lament after he's gone
Ridicule or envy now you can't forget me
I'm fixed in your mind
Like a knot in the twine
To the dark and pouring rain
Into the trap she sets again
Hear my wooden footsteps on her train
Hear my wooden footsteps again
Tough outer shell but so you can tell
She's soft underneath
Where you sink your teeth
Look sad, too bad, you're tongue tied
How many times a day you're
Too dumb or too shy
Two, three, four, five, count the stairs
Spirit hears what I should have said
And she knows why after she's gone
You're so in tune you feel it inside
Justice revenge tickle all over
Lily and sword damnation, reward
The spirit of the stairs
Everyone thinks but no one dares
Wishes made a sad lament after he's gone
Ridicule or envy now you can't forget me
I'm fixed in your mind
Like a knot in the twine
To the dark and pouring rain
Into the trap she sets again
Hear my wooden footsteps on her train
Hear my wooden footsteps again
Tough outer shell but so you can tell
She's soft underneath
Where you sink your teeth
Look sad, too bad, you're tongue tied
How many times a day you're
Too dumb or too shy
Two, three, four, five, count the stairs
Spirit hears what I should have said
And she knows why after she's gone
