Climbing Up The Walls - Radiohead

Album: OK Computer

genre: Alternative Rock

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement.
And if you get too far inside
You’ll only see my reflection.

It’s always best when the candle’s out,
I am the pick in the ice.
Do not cry out or hit the alarm,
You know we’re friends ’til we die.

And either way you turn
I’ll be there
Open up your skull
I’ll be there
Climbing up the walls

It’s always best when the light is off,
It’s always better on the outside.
Fifteen blows to the back of your head,
Fifteen blows to your mind.

So lock the kids up safe tonight
And shut the eyes in the cupboard.
I’ve got the smell of a local man
Who’s got the loneliest feeling.

That either way he turns – I’ll be there
Open up your skull – I’ll be there
Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
