Escalator Songtext
von American Anymen

I′m going forward, but getting nowhere
Working overtime, take a few steps
And every time we rest, it takes us back
I'm going forward, but getting nowhere
Working overtime, take a few steps
And every time we rest, it takes us back again

I′m getting tired of going nowhere
My knees are bent, I sit upon the tracks
I'm sinking down, the stairs are moving
I get ahead and then get taken back again
I'm getting tired of going nowhere fast
My shoelace get caught up in the creese
Everything is wrong, and more
I get caught between the track and the floor


Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Running
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
The wrong way

Pushing, everything, escalate the fight

I′m being pulled into a space that I fit
Everything is wrong with this
And In a way I understand why it is you look way
I understand why it is you look away
I′m being pulled into a space that I can't fit
Everything is wrong with this
And in a way I understand why
I understand why
You cover up your eyes

I′m getting tired of going nowhere
My knees are bent, I sit upon the tracks
I'm sinking down, the stairs are moving
I get ahead and then get taken back again
I′m getting tired of going nowhere fast
My shoelace get caught up in the creese
Everything is wrong, and more
I get caught between the track and the floor


Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Running
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
The wrong way

If you can believe me I can't tell the difference
If you can believe me I can′t tell, I can't tell
If you can believe me I can't tell the difference
If this machinery, is taking me up or down these stairs

Running Running Going up the escalator
Running Running The wrong way

Pushing, everything, escalate the fight

What′s the difference between a train and an airplane
When you′re laid out, down upon the track
What's the difference? What′s the difference
Tell me that
What's the difference in the speed of an engine
When it runs you off the track
What′s the difference What's the difference
Tell me that when it runs right over your back

I′m getting tired of going nowhere
My knees are bent, I sit upon the tracks
I'm sinking down, the stairs are moving
I get ahead and then get taken back again
I'm getting tired of going nowhere fast
My shoelace get caught up in the creese
Everything is wrong, and more
I get caught between the track and the floor

Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Running
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
Going up the escalator Going up the escalator
The wrong way

If you can believe me I can′t tell the difference
If you can believe me I can′t tell, I can't tell
If you can believe me I can′t tell the difference
If this machinery, is taking me up or down these stairs

Running Running Going up the escalator
Running Running The wrong way
