lyrics

Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs

Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from

Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs

People stop to watch me
They’re wondering what I'm doin'
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free
But actually I'm

Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywheres
Walking backwards down the stairs
