STAIRWAY
Open a door
Night black room
Mysterious stairway
Seen through the gloom
Stairway
Is it iron and marble
Rococo gilt
Or rotting old pine
And jerry-built
Stairway
Is it glittering, peeling
Gleaming, decaying
Steady as a rock
Or slightly swaying
Until you put
Your foot
Upon the stairway
You'll never know
What the stairway is
Or where it may go
Stairway
Does it lead to a cage
Of thick steel bars
Stairway
Or up to a stage
Of white neon stars
Stairway
Is it glittering, peeling
Gleaming, decayed
Will your dreams be fulfilled
Surpassed
Or betrayed
Until you put
Your foot
Upon the stairway
You'll never know
What the stairway is
Or where it may go
Go up the stairway
It's time to climb
The stairway
The stairway
The stairway ...
