The Stairs by INXS

In a room above a busy street
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents

Listened to by walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performin' the same movements

Storey to storey
Buildin' to buildin'
Street to street
We pass each other

Storey to storey
Buildin' to buildin'
Street to street
We pass each other

Listened to by walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performin' the same movements

The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you led?
Are you sure that you don't care?

There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different all are great

Climbin' as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves with quiet grace

Storey to storey
Buildin' to buildin'
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs

Listened to by walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performin' the same movements

Storey to storey
Buildin' to buildin'
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
