Up Escalator lyrics

From Sunset Boulevard to Chateau-lait
You`ve been a child of your age and you made it pay
It`s dog eat dog, you`re licking your lips
One more time snakehips, cash in your chips

On the up escalator
You`re on the up escalator
But you`re living in an upside down world

There`s mother sick people turning up at your door
But your bodyguard explained
You don`t live there no more
Your money is the lowest form of wit
As you bite the hand that feed`s you for the hell of it

You`re on the up escalator
And you like the way it feels
On the up escalator
There`s alligators at your heels

Between the big and the bad times
It`s just skinny little line
You`re on the up escalator
But you`re living in an upside down world

All of your life you`ve been shopping for redemption
Buy now, pay later

On the up escalator
You`re on the up escalator
But you`re living in an upside down world

Whoever steps in your way, they must be crushed
You`ve got everything worked out, but it cant be rushed
Shame, shame, your conscience kicks you again
Still there`s plenty of things to help you numb the pain

You`re on the up escalator
And you like the way it feels
On the up escalator
There`s alligators at your heels

Between the big and the bad times
It`s just skinny little line
You`re on the up escalator
But you`re living in an upside down world
