Lyrics:
Spiral Staircase [Version (a)]:

We don't care just where we're going
We don't care just where we're going
We don't care just where we're going

You and I, we'll climb so high
You and I, we'll climb so high

Spiral staircase into nothing
Spiral staircase into nothing

We will sleep, widow's web
We will sleep, widow's web
 
The Song:

We first learned about "Spiral Staircase" when it was registered into the copyright database at the end of 2011 or so. Then in the summer of 2012, it was revealed that it was a song to be part of a video game called Sound Shapes (along with the tracks "Touch The People" and "Cities").

My understanding is that each song is somehow its own level for the game, which allows players "to create increasingly complex beats via their achievements."

There is no final Beck version of the song released at this point. What we do have is a series of loops and things that you can put together via the game to create your own version of the song.
