Descendents

Verse 1

Down she spins

Round the banister bend

Her fingers trace the iron

That never ends

Falling slow

In a velvet haze

Every step a lifetime

Caught in backward days

Pre-Chorus

And I'm tumbling

Tumbling after her

Chorus

Down the spiral stairway

Drug to nowhere

Down the spiral stairway

I was born right there

Down the spiral stairway

Round and round and down

Verse 2

Her laughter echoes wrong

Like a warped vinyl groove

The landing's never coming

Nothing left to prove

She reaches for the railing

Her hand goes through

The years are just a dizzy

Spinning residue

Pre-Chorus

And I'm tumbling

Tumbling after her

Chorus

Down the spiral stairway

Drug to nowhere

Down the spiral stairway

I was born right there

Down the spiral stairway

Round and round and down

Bridge

Flesh on the descent

Bone on the turn

Every drop's a lesson

Every lesson's learned in skin

Chorus

Down the spiral stairway

Drug to nowhere

Down the spiral stairway

I was born right there

Down the spiral stairway

Round and round and down

Outro

Round and round

Round and round

Down
