|
On the outside I'm in the high rise |
|
Headin' for a meeting, shining up my greeting |
|
See me in a white suit with a mirror tie |
|
And you you-you-you |
|
Elevate me |
|
You throw off the shame |
|
And you dance on stilts with me |
|
And on the inside, I'm on my knees |
|
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery |
|
Too sick to stand, to try to understand |
|
But you you-you-you |
|
Elevate me |
|
You lift me high, just high enough to see |
|
You you-you-you |
|
Elevate me |
|
You throw off the shame |
|
And you dance on stilts with me |
|
You throw off the shame |
|
And you dance on stilts with me |
|
And no one suspects a thing |
|
They're all hiding just the same |
|
They ache for an outbound train |
|
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains |
|
And you you-you-you |
|
Elevate me |
|
You lift me high, just high enough to see |
|
You you-you-you |
|
Elevate me |
|
You throw off the shame |
|
And you |
|
You throw off the shame |
|
And you dance on stilts with me |
|
You elevate me |
|
You elevate me |
|
C'mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me |
|
You elevate me |
|
You elevate me |
