From Sunset Boulevard to Chateau-lait

You've been a child of your age and you made it pay

It's dog eat dog, you're licking your lips

One more time snakehips, cash in your chips



On the up escalator

You're on the up escalator

But you're living in an upside down world



There's mother sick people turning up at your door

But your bodyguard explained

You don't live there no more

Your money is the lowest form of wit

As you bite the hand that feed's you for the hell of it



You're on the up escalator

And you like the way it feels

On the up escalator

There's alligators at your heels



Between the big and the bad times

It's just skinny little line

You're on the up escalator

But you're living in an upside down world



All of your life you've been shopping for redemption

Buy now, pay later



On the up escalator

You're on the up escalator

But you're living in an upside down world



Whoever steps in your way, they must be crushed

You've got everything worked out, but it cant be rushed

Shame, shame, your conscience kicks you again

Still there's plenty of things to help you numb the pain



You're on the up escalator

And you like the way it feels

On the up escalator

There's alligators at your heels



Between the big and the bad times

It's just skinny little line

You're on the up escalator

But you're living in an upside down world
