Spiral Staircase

first you go down and then you go up
dancing inside your paper cup
your dreams of tangerines in your head
the staircase never ends so many tears are bled

you can try tearing down the walls
pacing back and forth in the halls
you can hide but you can't run
playing keep-a-way not always fun

flap your wings but not your jaws
pain of a thistle in your paws
you cry but nobody hears
they became accustomed to the tears

so what's the use of loud belching tones
when you can know deep in your bones
there is no way to win this race
not up and down the spiral staircase
