Up The Down Escalator Lyrics


Bates Up The Down Escalator


I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me
I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million time

I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Oh give me a hint or something
Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch

There must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions
Teachers who refuse to be taught
Sidtorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
Sitting at tables and throwing the scraps
For Christ's sake leave them something

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
Will they hesitate no

The must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down
Eden there's no eden anyway
They're dragging me down
You either swim or you down
