Walking Backwards Down The Stairs lyrics

Walking backwards down the stairs trying to get higher how can I get anywhere walking backwards down the stairs watching life elude me slipping through my grasp oh I know the truth at last but to reach the top I've got to stop from walking backwards down the stairs trying to get higher how can i get anywhere walking backwards down the stairs people stop to watch me wonder what I'm doing what direction I'm pursuing I pretend I'm free but actually I'm walking backwards down the stairs trying to get higher how can I get anywhere walking backwards down the stairs
