Falling Down The Stairs Of Your Smile - The New Pornographers

You look just like a starmaker

That is not like a star

And it looked good on paper

That is the cruelest part

So look alive, it’s much cheaper

The dead have expensive taste

The lookalikes found their way here

It’s you they want to replace

Yeah there’s room at the top

Pretty cheap for the view

But the vertigo drop put the skyline askew

Made me trip on a step, then I flew for awhile

Falling down the stairs of your smile

Falling down the stairs of your smile

You look just like a starmaker

That is not like a star

And they look good on paper

Good design takes you far

There were too many dress ups, not enough child’s play

Too many stopped clocks, not enough time saved

Too many soapboxes, not enough violins

Too many shipwrecks, not enough sirens

Yeah there’s room at the top

Pretty cheap for the view

But the vertigo drop made the skyline askew

Made me trip on a step, wasn’t careful enough

Falling down the stairs of your love

Falling down the stairs of your love

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full

Yeah, there’s room at the top

Pretty cheap for the view

But the vertigo drop made the skyline askew

Made me trip on a step, then I flew for awhile

Falling down the stairs of your smile

Falling down the stairs of your smile

Falling down the stairs of your love

Falling down the stairs of your love

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full

(Now, now)

You got what you want, be full
