Staircase Stomp Lyrics

Tragedy keeps the mind off catastrophe

But don't play the fool when you can stand on me

The floods carve out our paths and no one makes a sound

Finding warmth in the clutches of the frozen ground

(She's on)

She's such a sweet girl

(But she's dangerous)

We gotta' spill to build

(It's got to be a thrill)

She's like a groom with no bride

(What's the problem if it ain't midnight?)

Come on in and stay the night

Strokes the engines and returns with a smile

Tension loves an audience every once in a while

And it's how you persuade…

(Kick)

It's the best part of the game

(So kick)

Rebellion in the air

I meet my neighbors with a rope and a prayer

(Hey turn around and come home)

Suicidal dirty talk

(Hey turn around and come home)

It's not a light read on a soft page

(Hey turn around and come home)

It's not a whisper it's a loud rage

(Hey turn around and come home)

Baby rings her own bell rounds on me

And I'm feeling swell and I hunt with ease

I'm a hundred amber lights and the flag lost at sea

Angered by the no-show?

She's got a new sharp elbow

And a jukebox full of deadly sounds

Without alcohol it's not interesting at all

Focus on the hit list and get on with it

Focus on the hit list and get on with it

Stomping down the staircase

Feet kicking in the door

Some kind of hot bot with skinned knees

Ah but you're here to please

Yet I'm the one who don't sleep

So what's it all about?

Seems like I…

Should I see you out?

It's gettin' kinda' late around here

Maybe I should, maybe…

Maybe you should stay

Tortured by playmates barking at the daybreak

Get me a rifle and a box of shot

Hear the timbers crack as the roof come off

Hear the rumble of thunder as the shadows take to the hills

Love's obscene and so serene

but it's just a tease

I find no release
