Elevator Man

I said who's going down
Who's going down, who's going down, who's going down

I ride my elevator through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard, baby - there's no getting off
I'm a silent operator, won't you please take my hand?
I'm so polite, I'm the elevator man

Said friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man

Who's going down, who's coming with me
Who wants to take a chance on a piece of abstract reality?
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man

I said who's going down, yeah
Moving slow without a sound
Who's going down, who's going down, who's going down
I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going down

Please, pretty baby, won't you come to me
Won't you let me be your daddy, come sit here on my knee
Come tell your sugar daddy all of your fears
Cry for me darling, let me taste your tears
As they roll down your face and onto the sand
We're going down together, I'm the elevator man
Now we're moving slow without a sound
Going up and going down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man

I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going down
Ooh, I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going down

I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going
I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going

Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love
Goodbye to the world that you used to know above
Say goodbye to your mama and your daddy too
We're going to a place that you never even knew
'Cause we're moving slow without a sound
Going up and going down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in your bush, so give yourself a push
Wanna take a ride with the elevator man

Friction and harmony, who is gonna ride with me
Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand
With the eyes towards the empty sky, searching for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?
Who's going down, who's going down, who's going
I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going
I said who's going down, who's going down, who's going
I said who's going down
