You ascend the stairs One step at a time For each step you make You receive a dime Blinded by greed You skip a few The more you get The faster you flew The higher you get The smaller the foothold You see the warnings But still you ignored You made one misstep And started to fall At last you've awoken From your drunken stupor Your bones broken You've lost what you made You never listened To the things they've said So now you've learned To take it slow Cause the slower you are The farther you go

Through the Stairs
You ascend the stairs One step at a time For each step you make You receive a dime Blinded by greed You skip a few The more you get The faster you flew The higher you get The smaller the foothold You see the warnings But still you ignored You made one misstep And started to fall At last you've awoken From your drunken stupor Your bones broken You've lost what you made You never listened To the things they've said So now you've learned To take it slow Cause the slower you are The farther you go
