Lyrics
Seven storeys
A lift for ease
Though it isn't working now
Seven stories
Shortened for these
All have the same ending anyhow
Purple hazes
Yellow daisies
I didn't know you were down and out
Come outside and join me
We'll go drive
Around the roundabout
Chorus:
Jaded faces
Young boy chases
What evades his grasp
Gives him doubt
They can never find their way off the roundabout
Undecided
Uninspired soul
That died
It will never get out
They can never find their way off the roundabout
Unfair labels
Kitchen tables
Children's fables all around
Shattered window
Hopes are binned
Though they will live on underground
Seven stories
Shortened for ease
All of their time is running out
Seven storeys
Brought to their knees
No one can get off the roundabout
Chorus
Seven storeys
A lift for ease
Though it isn't working now
Purple hazes
Yellow daisies
I didn't know you were down and out
Seven stories
Shortened for these
All have the same ending anyhow
Won't you come outside and join me?
We'll go drive
Around the roundabout
And never get out
