A stairway, staircase, stairwell, flight of stairs, or simply stairs is a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairs may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles.
Special types of stairs include escalators and ladders. Some alternatives to stairs are elevators (lifts in British English), stairlifts and inclined moving walkways as well as stationary inclined sidewalks (pavements in British English).
A stair, or a stairstep is one step in a flight of stairs. In buildings, stairs is a term applied to a complete flight of steps between two floors. A stair flight is a run of stairs or steps between landings. A staircase or stairway is one or more flights of stairs leading from one floor to another, and includes landings, newel posts, handrails, balustrades and additional parts. A stairwell is a compartment extending vertically through a building in which stairs are placed. A stair hall is the stairs, landings, hallways, or other portions of the public hall through which it is necessary to pass when going from the entrance floor to the other floors of a building. Box stairs are stairs built between walls, usually with no support except the wall strings.
Upstairs a voice is calling
Must be Mother
Holding me so tenderly
Obviously my lover
Right from the start
She's touching me with
Ecstatically, luminary grace
She's got it
Yeah, yeah here's my heart
Yeah, yeah here's my heart
Momma calls me a name
She calls me the queen
A friend to hold me
A friend to please me
Queen, I see it
Who needs poison girls
Who needs poison girls
I got my Mother
I've got my Mother
We go huh
We go huh
I go huh
