Backstairs - The New Pornographers

Before I knew

To choose the music of celebrity

I sang backups on the backstairs

The backstairs the backstairs

I wore out grooves sneaking

Around the servants' quarters so

So I knew my way around the backstairs

There is another west you'll find out

It's nearly thunderous

There is another west much wilder

We feel it under us

And yet another west

A new one when you arrive

I moved so slow I didn't you know

That I was backing out

It was getting packed out on the backstairs

The backstairs the backstairs

And I came and I saw

And I ran and I won

And I came and I saw

And I ran and I won

And I came and I saw

And I ran and I won

There is another west

You'll find out

It's nearly thunderous

There is another west much wilder

You feel it under us

And yet another west

A new one when you arrive

And yet another west

A new one when you arrive

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

And I came and I saw

And I ran and I won

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

And I came and I saw

And I ran and I won

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs

Packed out on the backstairs
