I went up, I went down the stairs I took a picture and placed it on a chair Went to the mirror and checked my hair There was something in my eye, something in my eye I took the kettle and put it on I flipped some pages and waited for its song And from the windows the shadows getting long Not everyone was gone, not everyone was gone Turn on the lights Turn off the lights Open the drawers Close the drawers Dragged the carpet along the floor I forgot my keys inside the door Bought a paper from the corner store And cars were driving by, cars were driving by The purple sky was getting dark I sat down on a bench outside the park Took out the special section on the arts And watched the passersby, watched the passersby Turn on the water Turn off the water Open the curtains Close the curtains I didn't want to know I didn't want to know I didn't want to know I didn't want to know I didn't want to know I didn't want to know I went over to check the mail And then I put my hand back on the rail I looked up for the moon glowing pale There was nothing in the sky, nothing in the sky I went up, I went down the stairs I took a picture and placed it on a chair Went to the mirror and checked my hair And if I've just been waiting, what am I waiting for? Turn on the lights Turn off the lights Open the drawers Close the drawers I went up and I went down The stairs again I went up and I went down The stairs again I went up and I went down The stairs again I went up and I went down The stairs again
