…Somebody let me get that far
I don't even know right now who we are
I see you standing on the stairwell, stairwell
You know…
…this get that far
I don't even know right now who we are
With you my heart's in a wishing well
Promise me never break the spell
I confess…
…I confess
I have been tempted, tempted
I want it, I want it
Dangerous
Somebody tell me how we got that far
I don't even know…

…Somebody let me get that far
I don't even know right now who we are
I see you standing on the stairwell (stairwell)
You know…
…who we are
With you my heart is in a wishing well
Promise me never break the spell
I confess, I confess
I have been tempted…
…tempted
I want it, I want it
Dangerous
Somebody tell me how we got that far
I don't even know right now who we are
If you know…

…I can't get my feet up off the edge.
I kinda like the little rush you get,
when you're standing close to death
Like when you're…
…driving me crazy.
Hold on as we crash into the earth.
A bit of pain will help you suffer when you're hurt, for real
'cause you…
…to stay.
We'll stagger home after midnight.
Sleep arm in arm in the stairwell.
We'll fall apart on the weekend.
These nights go on and on and on.
I…

Sleep arm-in-arm in the stairwell
We'll fall apart on the weekend
These nights go on and on and on
I can't…

…[Verse 1]
I can't get my feet up off the edge

A bit of pain will help you suffer when you're hurt, for real

These nights go on and on and on
[Verse 2]
I can't keep your voice out of my head
All I hear are the many echoes of
The darkest words you…

…dragon and suddenly
flames everywhere.
I can tell already you think I'm the dragon,
that would be so like me, but I'm not. I'm not the…
…have known.
You see, I take the parts that I remember and stitch them back together
to make a creature that will do what I say…
…window seat over the wing with a view
of the wing and a little foil bag of peanuts.
I arrived in the city and you met me at the…

…type of jam to get loose with
And when they play us on the radio, "Who's this?"
Change the rules, throw away the rubric
And if you hatin' you can…
…only be useless
Hell'a smoke when we be ride, straight Snoop sh*t
And I ain't never told a lie
See the truth is that we do this to the…

And I should have known
That it wouldn't be long until you
You've got me standing in an awkward position…

And if you hating, you can only…
…be useless
Hella smoke when we be ride, straight Snoop shit
And I ain't never told a lie
See the truth is that we do this to the snare
Live…
…snakes, push him down the stairwell
And this is live from the pilot, Air Swell
And I should have known that it wouldn't be long until you
You've got me standing in an awkward position…

People get nasty on the dance floor
People get nasty on the dance floor
Here's the test of purity
And ya never know
Just…
…who care
Been [unverified] on while having sex, who's next?
Maybe you driving that Lex
Had sex with somebody the same day you met…
…him
Had sex with somebody who's name you didn't know
Or couldn't speak the same language as you
Or came out the closet for those to see…

…an angel or a ho
Have you ever had sex in 3 positions in on session
Been so loud having sex inside the house made you complain
Has your…
…lubricant or sex lotion
Do you like it fast, or slow motion
Or stopped in the middle before your partner was done
Ever did it in a stairwell…
…care
Been (?) on while having sex, who's next
Maybe you drivin that Lex
Had sex with somebody the same day you met him
Had sex with somebody…

…You say you'll never forget where you were when you
heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the…

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor, when a woman cried out to Me
for help, "I've been knocking on the door of your heart…

That shit don't matter when I mix the color ocean
Smoking on potent, goons bagging up in the living room
Blocking the…
…flat screen while I'm watching Juice
Move your big ass head, my favorite part's on
Q and the DJ battle, move or I scratch you

Smoking on chronic feeling like Nostradamic
See dying in your future, nigga I promise
Vomit colors seven series…

Got them selling dimes still shiny as a nickel

And the champion gear that I rock? Will hide my face for me
Mask down, 3-57 and the box of shells
Seville dead-arm the kid in the stairwell…
