the midnight stairwell committee

the midnight stairwell committee
was a band of friends
we used to be at 1210
when the night met its end
we'd sit at the top of the echo-ey stair
and play guitar while he smoked a cig
the sound would go from up here to down there
yeah it was quite big
i remember the way i used to feel the world was massive
and the way the sun would shine
i thought the strings were classic
and that the entire world was mine
we used to have adventures
and smoke things
we'd roam around the school grounds
and would muse at what the night would bring
one night i met a kid who'd be
a great ally to me
and showed me how to play
guitar in the right way
but before that began
my friends and i still partied
when the sun set, in the streets we ran
and amongst the girls we follied
the nights had mystery
as we roamed the streets
and the days were full of history
for future revelations
every night brought something new
i wrote some songs
and i had a great view
and i felt like i belonged
but things have a way of coming to an end
the world crashed around us
and the friends disappeared whom which i'd grown to depend
but before the drugs took their course
we had a passion for life
we explored the world with force
for some, at the point of a knife
all good things come to an end of course
but we were fucking explorers
shaking the world around
doing more than those had before us
making plans that were so sound
