Last Chance on the Stairway (Manchester Square demo)
[Verse 1]
I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago
I just get a picture of sun in your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night
It just took me out on a limb, and I don't really know what I'm doing here

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide, and my beat's so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want, I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

[Verse 2]
Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back, we'll turn and see the circles we've traced
Ain't no game when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight, so the party runs on all night

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide, and my beat's so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want, I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway
[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Wonder why (Wonder why) what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking, I don't know what you're thinking
I don't even know what you're drinking, but it keeps this heaven alive

[Chorus]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide, and my beat's so in time
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want, I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

[Outro]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide (Last chance on the stairway)
And my beat's so in time (Last chance on the stairway)
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach (Last chance on the stairway)
I'll talk if it feels right, I'm so nervous to say (Last chance on the stairway)
Tell me can't you see?
And if you want (Last chance on the stairway)
I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more (Last chance on the stairway)
Baby, dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later(Last chance on the stairway)
I've had my last chance on the stairway
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide (Last chance on the stairway)
And my beat's so in time (Last chance on the stairway)
Can you look at me?
I'm out of reach, (Last chance on the stairway)…
