Lyrics Ivory Stairs - Live - The Angels

Rumour has it that you got a well-laid plan
To make yourself a singularly self-made man
Imported shirts, Yves St. Laurent
You got everything that you want

Caught you running to your candy-coloured Chevrolet
Consumer consumes, the loser has to pay
Higher you climb, well, the deeper you go
Talk about change, nothing changed so slow

Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs

Any kid on the street with his ear to the ground
Knows credit card conspiracy and flesh by the pound
Harlequin dancin' 'tween the sun and moon
Got you dancing to a gallows tune

Climbing up the ivory stairs
You're never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs

Got you climbing up the ivory stairs
You're never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs

Oh no, you found the door
Too late, you found that you never got the key
Oh no, in your confusion
Don't turn your weary eyes on me
Give it up, yeah

Harlequin dancin' 'tween the sun and the moon
Got you dancing to a gallows tune
Tell me what happened to your well-laid plan
To make yourself a singularly self-made man

Caught you running to your candy-coloured Chevrolet
Consumer consumes, the user better pay
Higher you climb, when the deeper you go
Talk about change

Climbing up the ivory stairs
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs

You got you climbing up the ivory stairs
You're never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs

You better watch your step
Watch your step
Watch your step
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Yeah, you better watch your step
Watch your step
You better watch your step
Climbing up the ivory stairs
