The Staircase (Mystery) lyrics

Song information

Artist: Siouxsie And The Banshees
Album: Once Upon A Time: The Singles

Lyrics

Stare case lying face up
Stare cat sat on a mat
Looking down
Slide down the banister
Take the escalator
Slide down the banister
Or try the elevator
I was standing on the landing
Now I'm standing in the hall
Looking up

Won't someone assist me
Solve this mystery
Somebody assist me
Arrange the symmetry
Muffled footsteps on the carpet

Spiral steps start spinning
Around me
Which floor which ceiling
You're off balance
Which floor which ceiling
It's all upside down
Stare case lying face up
Stare cat sat on a mat
Looking down..
