lyrics

I gotchu there there’s not even a stair that we won’t go
I’d like to run there in a mineral air
I gotchu there there’s not even a stair that we can’t go
Shot in a dare by your penitent heirs

But if you told me to stop, then I’d stop
talking and I’d be the only one who’d know

I gotchu there got a hundred million stairs we can go
Combing my hair with umbilical care
Canvass the land and command all the puppets to stand
Breaking the band, I clap my mannequin hands

But if you told me to stop, then I’d stop
talking and I’d be the only one who’d know
And if I told you to stop, then you’d stop
talking and you’d be the only who’d know

I gotchu there there’s not even a stair that we won’t go
I’d like to run there in a mineral air
I gotchu there there’s so many many stairs we will go
Life is up there, but we’ll make it so lovely down here

But when I told you to stop, you wouldn’t stop
laughing but now I’m the only one
So when I tell you to stop, then you’ll stop
talking and I’ll be the only one who knows
