I Went Up, I Went Down

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
