Repeat Bridge 1 again, then following into the intro again as for the first verse

I was standing on the landing

Now I'm standing in the hall

Looking up....up up up up

Won't someone assist me

Solve this mystery

Somebody assist me

Arrange the symmetry...

Then go straight into the main riff again

Muffled footsteps on the carpet

Spiral steps start spinning

Around...me

**Follow with the same bridge and main intro riff throughout the rest of the song where needed, you should listen to the song for the timing - its basicaly the same sequence all the way though the song**

Which floor which ceiling

You're off balance

Which floor which ceiling

It's all upside down

Yes.. you guessed, main riff again

Staircase lying face up

Staircat sat on the mat looking down

Looking down....down
