All that goes on behind closed doors Private lives and underworlds Borderlines built by partition walls Fourteen families fill each floor You could meet me on the stairs Hear their splintered conversations Shadows and remnants Resounding along the corridors
Chorus: Block after block, street after street Building to building their eyes never meet Each life repeated layer upon layer All comings and goings, all changes Will pass by the stairs On the stairs
You could meet me on the stairs Hear their splintered conversations Shadows and remnants Resounding along the corridors
Chorus
Block after block, street after street Building to building their eyes never meet Each life repeated layer upon layer All comings and goings, all changes, the future All good news will pass by the stairs Meet me on the stairs
