15 Steps

In a house on a hill you can hear it still, contemplation

There's a table, a chair and a room that is spare, isolation

The topics discussed include dust to the state of the nation

And the people in there trade in joy or despair, satisfaction

And there are 15 steps to heaven

Eddie Cochran got it wrong

And if you surrender your soul

You'll feel the shake, rattle and roll before too long

There's a time and a place for the thrill of the chase, deconstruction

You can let your guard down but it won't bring her 'round, supplication

And it seems days on end till the sight of a friend in conversation

But if things get you down, it's a short ride to town for libation

Nothing ever seems to hurry

There is no Greenwich mean time there

And with the setting of the sun

Strange if anything gets done but we don't care

Late at night you might hear voices whisper in your ear, apparition

And when the wind blows and the old timbers glow, superstition

But there's no finer place to zone in and embrace the seclusion

It's as sharp as a knife and the rest of your life's an illusion

And nothing ever seems to hurry

There is no Greenwich mean time there

And with the setting of the sun

It's strange if anything gets done but we don't care

'Cause there are 15 steps to heaven

Old Eddie Cochran got it wrong

And if you surrender your soul

You'll feel the shake, rattle and roll before too long
