Backstairs Lyrics - Brill Bruisers - New Pornographers

Taking the backstairs 

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 

You feel it under us 

And yet another West, 

A new one, when you arrive 

I move so slow, I didn't know that I was backing off 

It was getting backed 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 

Another West, 

A new one, when you arrive 

Taking the backstairs 

And I came 

And I saw 

And I ran 

And I won 

I knew my way around the backstairs
