In a room above a busy street
The echoes of a life
the fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents
Listened to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Storey to storey
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Listened to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you led
Are U sure that you don’t care
There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different all are great
Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves with quiet grace

Haunting lyrics ..."the nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck"...it is so surreal our wonderful Michael has gone . The talented creative artist he was sounds so much in pain...sadly we have lost a great artist ...
One of the world's greatest band that is not recognized as such. Incredible lyric and rhythmic love making to create such a profound life message. Geniuses

The Stairs HAS received recognition and is NOT under-rated. You and I are listening! Hands down, the best INXS has ever given us fans. Thank you Michael, RIP!
First "Guns in the Sky", now this? Did MTV ever play these videos? I LIVED on MTV in the late '80s-early'90s and I never knew these videos existed before today.
What an amazing band. I'm 25 years old, been heavily into music since I was 11, and just now I'm getting into them. So happy to have such easy access to all their music :)
