Inxs - The Stairs lyrics

The echoes of a life

The fragments and the accidents

Separated by incidents

Listened to by the walls

We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors

Performing the same movements

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other

Listened to by the walls

We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors

Performing the same movements

The nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck

Do you lead or are you led

Are you sure that you don't care

There are reasons here to give your life

And follow in your way

The passion lives to keep your faith

Though all are different all are great

Climbing as we fall

We dare to hold on to our fate

And steal away our destiny

To catch ourselves with quiet grace

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs

Listened to by the walls

We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors

Performing the same movements

Story to story

Building to building

Street to street

We pass each other on the stairs
