I don't like this   Anymore than you   In fact I'm scared   At the top of the stairs in the dark      Throw away all the dreams you had   Slow and broke   And just for you   You were barely there      Hey little girl   Where's your momma gone?   Has she left you scared   At the top of the stairs in the dark      It's too late for come backs   And I've been wrong before   Now I need, I need no more   Except for you makin' up the sides      It's too late for come backs   And I've been wrong before   Now I need, I need no more   Except for you makin' up the sides      Evil is when evil comes   At the top of the stairs   At the top of the stairs   And in the dark      The world won't listen   And it gets this scared   Standing there   At the top of the stairs in the dark      Come on baby   Let's lose this fear   And let's stand here   Where it's always fair and never dark
