Roomer: Escalator over the hill. Operasinger: Thickening old hotel Doubletalk with single Entendre The giggling fly Of a flashing Pajama Longed for pleasure Lost forever To a flashing That insists On a new Yodelling Ventriloquist. Men: Escalator over the hill Again no choice For the poor pale house. Ancient Roomer: Riding uneasily. Cecil Clark/Operasinger: Over the hill Over the hill Over the hill

Escalator Over the Hill. Escalator Over the Hill Tracklist. 1. Hotel Overture Lyrics. Escalator Over the Hill Q&A. Lyricist Paul Haines.

This somewhat early album from Carla Bley is one of her excursions into the realm of musical theater. The words were written by Paul Haines. While I must admit that I enjoy the lyrics in the context of each song, I never had the patience to attempt to figure out what is going on in the story. Musically, Bley divides her big band into subsets, with some players bleeding over into different groupings. Primarily, there's the big band. Then we get the clambering trainwreck of the title piece - "Escalator Over the Hill" often sounds like a drunken cabaret band - charging onward heavy-handedly, only to stumble and nearly fall every now and then, with multiple singers singing one-liners from within Cecil Clark's Hotel Lobby. Phantom music returns, and Carla Bley repeats the phrase "Stay Awake! Please! Stay Awake!" in increasingly frenzied tones.
