Lyrics
Ivory Stairs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rumour has it that you got a well laid plan
To make yourself a singularly self-made man
Imported shirts from Yves St. Laurent
You got everything that you want
Catch you running to your candy colored Chevrolet
Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay
The higher you climb, the deeper you go
Talking about a change, nothing changed so slow
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Any kid on the street with his ear to the ground
Knows credit card conspiracy and flesh by the pound
Harlequin dancin' `tween the sun and the moon
They got you dancing to a gallows tune
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
(Solo)
Oh no, you found the door
Too late you found that you never got the key
Oh no, in the confusion
Don't turn your weary eyes on me
Harlequin dancin' `tween the sun and the moon
Got you dancing to a gallows tune
Tell me what happened to your well laid plan
To make yourself a singularly self-made man
Catch you running to your candy colored Chevrolet
Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay
The higher you climb, the deeper you go
Talking about a change, nothing changed so slow
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Ivory Stairs
(Watch your step)
(Watch your step)
(Watch your step)
Climbing up the ivory stairs
(Watch your step)
(Watch your step)
(Watch your step)
Climbing up the ivory stairs
