Love And Money - Up Escalator lyrics

From Sunset Boulevard to Chateau-lait You've been a child of your age and you made it pay It's dog eat dog, you're licking your lips One more time snakehips, cash in your chips On the up escalator You're on the up escalator But you're living in an upside down world There's mother sick people turning up at your door But your bodyguard explained You don't live there no more Your money is the lowest form of wit As you bite the hand that feed's you for the hell of it You're on the up escalator And you like the way it feels On the up escalator There's alligators at your heels Between the big and the bad times It's just skinny little line You're on the up escalator But you're living in an upside down world All of your life you've been shopping for redemption Buy now, pay later On the up escalator You're on the up escalator But you're living in an upside down world Whoever steps in your way, they must be crushed You've got everything worked out, but it can't be rushed Shame, shame, your conscience kicks you again Still there's plenty of things to help you numb the pain You're on the up escalator And you like the way it feels On the up escalator There's alligators at your heels Between the big and the bad times It's just skinny little line You're on the up escalator But you're living in an upside down world
