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
