Lyrics The New Pornographers

The New Pornographers

Backstairs

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
