Lyrics Ivory Stairs - Live at La Trobe - The Angels

I roll the dice, it was a double one, a classic

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

Got you running to your candy-coloured Chevrolet
Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay
The higher you climb, deeper you go
Talk about a change, nothing changed so slow

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

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 the moon
Got you dancing to a gallows tune

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

They got you
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

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

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

Got you running to your candy-coloured Chevrolet
Consumer consumed, the loser has to pay
Higher you climb, deeper you go
Talk about a 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

Climbing up the ivory stair
Never gonna get anywhere
Slipping on the first step, can't get a good grip
Climbing up the ivory stairs
Ivory stair, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-ah-ah, ah
Ah, watch your step
Climbing up the ivory stairs

Stair, better watch out
You better watch out
You better watch yourself
Climbing up the ivory stair, yeah, oh-oh

Thank you
