up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
each step resonates
squeak, snap, groan
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
it’s going to be a long day
growling stomach hoping for some lunch
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
don’t change the pattern
don’t let it stop
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
aching calves, burning ankles,
humiliation going up and down
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
the punishment fits the crime
if you run, you walk
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
tick, tick, tick
the sun is setting and so is any hope of this ending
up, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
down, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step, step
turn…
“Did you learn your lesson?”
“yes”
“Go to bed”
