The New Pornographers Falling Down The Stairs Of Your Smile Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You look just like a star maker
That is not like a star
And you look good on paper
That is the cruelest part

[Verse 2]
So look alive, it's much cheaper
The dead have expensive taste
The look of lights on their way here
It's you they want to replace

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
You look just like a star maker
That is not like a star
And they look good on paper
Good design takes you far

[Pre-Chorus]
Too many dress ups‚ not enough child's play
Too many stopped clocks‚ not enough time saved
Too many slip-ups‚ it's not enough violence
Too many shipwrecks, not enough sirens

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
(Now‚ now)
You got what you want before
(Now, now)
You got what you want before

[Chorus]
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 and 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

[Outro]
(Now‚ now)
You got what you want before
(Now, now)
You got what you want before
(Now, now)
You got what you want before
(Now, now)
You got what you want before
