Tenement Steps - The Motors

Climbing up these stairs at night

I keep forgetting as I fall on my face

Because somebody forgot to wipe away

Bloodstains from the night before

When two men were fighting over love

That was never there

Religion of despair

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Cemented

Someone’s banging on the door

And I remember as I sit in the dark

Of a promise to tear my bones apart

I pick up a hatchet from the fireplace

Open the door and scar a face

I nearly killed a boy

I could have backed away

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Cemented

Oo

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Cemented

Oo

Climbing up these stairs at night

I keep forgetting as I fall on my face

Because somebody forgot to wipe away

Fade away evaporate

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Tenement steps

Cemented
