Escalator Over the Hill

Paul Haines, Carla Bley

Cecil Clark:
People who never
Tell anyone anything
Always
Just letting them know
Flooding memory with pumps
Talented teams of onions
Inside the goal
Of the mouth
Itself

Roomer:
Escalator over the hill

Operasinger:
Thickening old hotel
Doubletalk with single
Entendre
The giggling fly
Of a flashing
Pajama
Longed for pleasure
Lost forever
To a flashing
That insists
On a new
Yodelling
Ventriloquist

Men:
Escalator over the hill
Again no choice
For the poor pale house

Ancient Roomer:
Riding uneasily

Cecil Clark/Operasinger:
Over the hill
Over the hill
Over the hill

Direct pulse
Passes by
Darts in limiting
The system
All green within
All pale with go
A whistling echo
All for fun
From Sinclair's
Blue magic gun

Hotelpeople:
Escalator over the hill
Again no choice
For the poor pale house
Riding uneasily
Over the hill
Over the hill
Over the hill
