I'll be back before bars close
I'll be tall before grass grows
I left there long ago
'Cause that house ain't my home
I will need the warnings you speak
Before you go upstairs
Before you go upstairs
Four different stories in one single story there
There are things privilaged
And some things so unfair
I will heed the warnings you speak
Before we go upstairs
Before we go upstairs
Time is tryin' to kill me
But foolishness will beat him to it
I hear tales of things I shouldn't
Right before I start to do it
I'll bide my time, hide my crimes
Before I go upstairs
Before I go upstairs
I got dirt beneath my feet
A lot of world for me to see
Trouble haunts me in my sleep
I got places I should be
One day soon, in my dark room
Before I go upstairs
Before you go upstairs
Oh, before we go upstairsv
