Whitey - Descending The Stairs lyrics
[Whitey - Descending The Stairs lyrics]
I start with the feeling
That something I needed was lost
And going through my pockets
I wasn't really sure what it was
And walking through
The morning air I get a feeling
That something was no longer there
So I went through all my pockets
Again and didn't know what I lost
Then back up the stairs
That night when I switched
On the light it felt empty and dark
The answer came through
To me clear as a voice from above
That I can live without
Anything
If I can't live
Without love
I don't need a million things
Need a brighter screen need a tropical dream
I don't need the latest
Wheels just to roll me around
I don't need to dress to impress
Keeping up with the rest
Stamper brand on my chest
I don't need to read
About the breeding of the greedy
And the loud
I don't need position
I don't need confession
I don't need the session to talk
Nothing's as important
Now I'm living somewhere above
Cause, I can live without
Anything now I
Can live without love
Cause, I can live without
Anything
Now I can live
Without love
(Love)
- What's your definition of love?
- Love? It's kind of like, you know, when
You see a fog in the morning
When you wake up before the sun comes
Out it's just there a little while
And then it burns away - Really?
- Absolutely - It burns away?
- Yes quickly
I don't need permission public exhibitions
Holding my position changing my decisions
Wondering just why and where, and how
And when, and what is allowed
Late night complications
Futile conversations
Endlessly in the morning
Through the same few situations
I don't need to read
About the breeding of the greedy
And the loud
(Getting louder, and louder, and louder
And louder)
I don't need position
I don't need confession
I don't need the session to talk
Nothing's as important
Now I'm living somewhere above
(Above, above, above, above
Above, above, above, above)
Cause, I can live without
Anything
Now I can live
Without love (love, love, love, love)
Cause, I can live without
Anything
Now I can live
Without love (Without love)
