Up the Down Staircase Songtext
von Islands

Under
Going deeper
Like some kind of dungeon keeper
Climb out
Baby, climb out
Up to where we were

In the doldrums with the dregs
Down there
Where the fox got all my eggs
Somehow
All my round holes got square pegs
Is this why
All those dolphins lost their legs?


Somewhere
I can come up for air
And softly, but surely
I′m on the come up down there
I was lost when I walked in
When I walked out, violins
Thought I was down
Yeah, out of range
But I was up
And it was strange

Falling
Falling
The way out is the way in
Forming
Yeah, I'm forming
Today I begin

I was lost
I was down
Then I walked up and I was found
On the stairs
Down the hall
I go up now
Just to fall
By the hour


It′s getting better now
From the tower
I see it better now
I was lost when I walked in
Then I walked out to violins
Yeah
