[Intro]
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs

[Verse 1]
Before I knew to choose the music of celebrity
I sang backups on the backstairs, the backstairs, the backstairs (Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs)

I wore out grooves sneaking around the servants' quarters, so
So I knew my way around the backstairs

[Chorus]
There is another West, you'll find out
It's nearly thunderous
There is another West, much wilder
You feel it under us
And yet another West, a new one when you arrive

[Verse 2]
I move so slow, I didn't know that I was backing out
It was getting packed out on the backstairs, the backstairs, the backstairs

[Bridge]
And I came, and I saw, and I ran, and I won
And I came, and I saw, and I ran, and I won
And I came, and I saw, and I ran, and I won
[Chorus]
There is another West, you'll find out
It's nearly thunderous
There is another West, much wilder
You feel it under us
And yet another West, a new one when you arrive
Another West, a new one when you arrive

[Outro]
Taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs
And I came, and I saw, and I ran, and I won
(Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs)

Taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs
And I came, and I saw, and I ran, and I won
(Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs)

Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs
I knew my way around the backstairs
Taking the backstairs, taking the backstairs...
