In the shadows by the wall
   The stairs go on forever
  
   They could be steel
   They could be stone
   They could even be paper
  
   Are they leading up or down?
   The stairs go on forever
  
   Crowds of people in confusion
   Are they moving in or out?
  
   Are they moving, are they still?
   The stairs go on forever
  
   People going up stairs
   People going down stairs
   Ascending people
   Descending people
