Up on the Ladder (Live at 93 Feet East) Lyrics

[Speaking: Thom Yorke, (Ed O'Brien), Crowd Member]
Hi mom- no, I can't come home now
Well, it's been a very strange day *chuckles*
Thank you!
(Well, thank you!) Today seems like a bad day to cut down
It's possible that we might have to have a drink at the end of this

[Verse 1]
I'm stuck in the TARDIS
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute, snake charming
The next in a motorcade

[Verse 2]
All the right moves and
In the right places
Watch me dance, I'm a puppet
You can almost see the strings

[Chorus]
Oh, you let your people down
Let your people down
You let your people down, oh
You let your people down
Let your people down
You've let the people down
[Verse 3]
Give me an answer
Give me a line
I've been climbing up this ladder
And I've been wasting my time

[Chorus]
Oh, you let your people down
You let your people down
You let your people down, oh
You've let your people down
You've let your people down
You've let the people down

[Outro]
Up on the ladder, we are tied to a stake
Up on the ladder, we wait for your mistake
Up on the ladder, tryin' to call out your name
Up on the ladder, you're all the fucking same

[Speaking: Thom Yorke]
Thanks
