I'm living in an apartment Never have before And it feels a bit strange living up here on the seventh floor In the city where I come from We always lived in a house But now I've got people over me, under me I'm living with my lover We've only got two rooms And I'm working at a day job While I decide what I really wanna do I remember back in high school Everyone was the same But now I've got people over me, under me
Climb, climb, climb up the stairs Everybody climb up the stairs Everybody up the emergency exit Everybody wants the view from way up there I'm living for the present I'm living day to day I don't have a trust fund I don't feel the need to superannuate And when I'm feeling down, down, down I end up in your arms And your love washes over me, under me Lover, please don't get over me.
