The Angels - Ivory Stairs lyrics

Rumour has it that you got a well laid plan To make yourself a singularly self-made man Imported shirts from Yves St. Laurent You got everything that you want Catch you running to your candy colored Chevrolet Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay The higher you climb, the deeper you go Talking about a change, nothing changed so slow Climbing up the ivory stairs Never gonna get anywhere Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip Climbing up the ivory stairs Any kid on the street with his ear to the ground Knows credit card conspiracy and flesh by the pound Harlequin dancin' 'tween the sun and the moon They got you dancing to a gallows tune Climbing up the ivory stairs Never gonna get anywhere Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip Climbing up the ivory stairs Climbing up the ivory stairs Never gonna get anywhere Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip Climbing up the ivory stairs Oh no, you found the door Too late you found that you never got the key Oh no, in the confusion Don't turn your weary eyes on me Harlequin dancin' 'tween the sun and the moon Got you dancing to a gallows tune Tell me what happened to your well laid plan To make yourself a singularly self-made man Catch you running to your candy colored Chevrolet Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay The higher you climb, the deeper you go Talking about a change, nothing changed so slow Climbing up the ivory stairs Never gonna get anywhere Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip Climbing up the ivory stairs Climbing up the ivory stairs Never gonna get anywhere Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip Climbing up the ivory stairs Ivory Stairs (Watch your step) (Watch your step) (Watch your step) Climbing up the ivory stairs (Watch your step) (Watch your step) (Watch your step) Climbing up the ivory stairs
