Letra The elevator man Oingo Boingo

The elevator man

Who's goin down?
Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

Yeah!

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

Friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man
Who's goin' down, who's comin' with me?
Who wants to take a chance on a piece of abstract reality?

It's only just a dance. Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?

Who's goin down?
Movin' slow without a sound.
Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

I said

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

Please pretty baby, won't you come to me?
Won't you let me be your daddy, come sit here on my knee?
And tell your sugar daddy all of your fears
Lie for me darlin', 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 movin' slow without a sound
Goin' up and goin' 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?

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

I said

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

I said, who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin...

I said, who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin...

Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love. Goodbye to the world you used to know above.
Say goodbye to your momma, and your daddy too. You're goin' to a place that you never even knew.

Now we're movin' slow without a sound
Goin' up and goin' down

Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush
So give yourself a push
Wanna take a ride with the elevator man?

Friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me
Far across the ocean on a floating bag of sand

With eyes towards the empty sky
Searching for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

I said

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?

I said

Who's goin down, who's goin down, who's goin down?
