Song Lyrics

"Escher s World"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Liver

Through the passing strange, I fell to the wide-eyed opposite,
My agenda was hidden well, now I don't know where I left it.

I woke up in Escher's world today,
My mother said it was okay.

Up's down, down is out, out is in,
Stairways circle back to where you've been,
Time falls, water crawls, are you listening'

Did you ever chase your tail through a maze of exit doors'
I've seen the light by Braille,
I've blazed the road before us.

We're walking in Escher's world again,
Rise up, you nimble-minded men.

Birds roar, lions soar, sheep are cruel,
Snails pace, papers chase, midgets rule,
Stuffed shirts, status hurts, we ain't fooling,
We ain't fooling,
We ain't fooling.

Let the sequels have their day, yeah, the remake's on its way.

We're living in Escher's world, it seems,
We're wide awake within our dreams.

Socks hop, lemons drop, butter flies,
Tough wimps, sado-shrimps, mojos rise,
Pips squeak, widows peek, are you surprised'

Birds roar, lions soar, sheep are cruel,
Snails pace, papers chase, midgets rule,
Stuffed shirts, Ethel Mertz, we ain't fooling.

Up's down, down is out, out is in,
Time falls, water crawls, are you listening'
Stairways circle back to where you've been,
Stairways circle back to where you've been,
Stairways circle back to where you've been,
Stairways circle back to where you've been.
