Elevator Songtext
von Fantastic Cat

Well I found you in the basement with your poor head in your hands
You was crying about the weight of all the universe demands
Well you′d been to see the doctor oh you'd been to see the priest
You′d been to see the psychic but you couldn't quite believe
They all said the same thing much to your despair
When the elevator's broken oh you gotta take the stairs

Well Robin Hood was pretty good with an arrow and a bow
And Little John was big and strong from the stories I′ve been told
They roamed through Sherwood Forest wreaking havoc door to door
Stealing from the rich so they could give it to the poor
′Cause they both knew the one rule that gets you anywhere
When the elevator's broken oh you gotta take the stairs

You might want a ticket to take you to the top
You might want an express train without a single stop
Your lover′s in the penthouse there's romance in the air
When the elevator′s broken oh you gotta take the stairs


Well the revolution came and went but nothing really changed
So they rolled all of the bodies into one big shallow grave
And they called it a museum and they made us wait in line
To pay our last respects for only $19.99
You get what you pay for, buyer best beware
When the elevator's broken oh you gotta take the stairs

Well David slew Goliath with a slingshot in his fist
Yeah and Elvis caused a riot just by wiggling his hips
Oh and ever since that atom split they′ve done all that they can
To gather up the pieces yeah and put them back again
History's forgotten, the future's everywhere
When the elevator′s broken oh you gotta take the stairs

You might want a ticket to take you to the top
You might want an express train without a single stop
They′re counting down to midnight in the middle of Times Square
When the elevator's broken oh you gotta take the stairs

Well I guess if what they say about the universe is true
That it started with a bang then it′ll end the same way too
And you wonder why no savior wants to step up for the job
When we killed all the good Kennedys, nailed Jesus to the cross
Well it's gonna be a minute before God gets to your prayers


When the elevator′s broken
And the air is full of smoke and
You can't breathe in without choking
So you kick the door wide open
′Cause you gotta take the stairs
