Seventh Stair

<br>Emily sits on the seventh stair<br>Just outside the lions` lair<br>Holding the magic in her bowl<br>She feels complete, it makes her whole<br>She takes the hand of a passing boy<br>Who treats her like a battered toy<br>She doesn`t know, she doesn`t care<br>She breathes the magic in the air<br>And how do you tell her it isn`t real?<br>How do you say it`s a short end deal?<br>How do you save a passing glance?<br>And how do you give her another chance?<br>It`s a hard won fight to keep her here<br>Where reality is crystal clear<br>She says she loves you, she slips away<br>She says she`ll find you some other day<br>She`ll make you feel like she wants to go<br>But she says it isn`t true you know<br>She says the hazes are her home<br>She`ll show you where she wants to roam<br>(Chorus)<br>She`s beautiful and she`s very sweet<br>But the magic smoke is who she`ll meet<br>So the letters you write, you`ll never send<br>Her daytime nightmare never ends<br>You`re watching it pull her to the top<br>You`re waiting for the shoe to drop<br>She says she loves you but she won`t stay<br>She says it`s her life anyway<br>(Chorus)
