Backstairs Songtext

von New Pornographers

Before I knew to choose the music of celebrity
I sang backups on the backstairs, the backstairs, the backstairs
I wore a groove sneaking around the servants' quarters so
So I knew my way around the back stairs

There is another west you'll find out
It's nearly thunderous
There is another west, much wilder
You feel it under us and yet another west, the new one where you are

I moved so slow, I didn't know that I was backing up
It was getting backed up on the backstairs, the backstairs, the backstairs

And I came and I saw and I ran and I won
And I came and I saw and I ran and I won
And I came and I saw and I ran and I won
And I came and I saw and I ran and I won

There is another west you'll find out
It's nearly thunderous
There is another west, much wilder
You feel it under us and yet another west, the new one where you are
Another west, the new one where you are

Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
(And I came and I saw and I ran and I won)
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
(And I came and I saw and I ran and I won)
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs (etc.)
(I knew my way around the back stairs)
