Artwork title: Couple Steps Below
Artist: Michael Oliveri
A song backed by reggae instrumentation, with stabs of electric keyboard and an accompanying drum groove. A male voice sings the lyrics below; in the middle of the song and in its outro, the keyboard plays a solo. An image is displayed as the music plays, showing two people standing apart at the bottom of a dark staircase. The image is abstract and entirely in shades of blue and gray.
Lyrics
One night I walked through old Georgetown,
And I ran into a girl.
With hair so red, she calmly said,
That “I know all of the world.”
Took two steps back, and took her in.
And wondered if what she said was true.
She bit her lip, and then that was it.
I knew that there was nothing I could do.
And I’m not a wicked man.
But I just had to go.
Her fire-curled hair, she bid me there,
To take a couple steps below.
So we walked, through years past.
And made love to all the wanings of the sun.
‘Cause in the night, the mood was right,
to get outside and have a little fun.
And I’m not a wicked man.
But I just had to go.
Her fire-curled hair, she bid me there.
To take a couple steps below.
