ELEVATOR MUSIC Sign in or register

One two
You know what to do

Alright
Come on
I'm uptight
Super-gutted
Out of the frame
I shake my leg on the ground like an epileptic battery man
I'm making my move
Letting loose like a bell
A little worse for wear but I'm wearing it well
Tell me what's wrong with a little grind and bump
Yeah
When the stereos erupt with the kick drum punch
Once you do it once you'll probably do it again and again
You did it before but you're more erratic than then
When you've had a rough night and the ride's just begun
Let a little bit of this put the past where it's done
Don't let it hold you back like you already said
No dead flower's gonna grow till the dirt gets wet

Put the elevator music on
Put me back where I belong
The ambulance sings along
The fly on the wall doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
Find another lie to tell
If I had a soul to sell
I'd buy some time to talk to my brain cells

Gut bucket and a bottle of pain
It's like the school house lights will never turn on again
Till the bottom wears off of these high-heeled boots
And the bodies all move to some back bone roots
Everybody working hard till the yard's all clean
The dishes washed good in the washing machine
Then you brush your teeth and you comb back your hair
You drive your vehicle like you just didn't care
And you walk into work with the boys and the girls
And you're doing it to death like it's the end of the world
Now there's everybody sweating
Forgetting what's on their minds
Make your hand like a mirror so you can see what's inside
When you're down and out pounded and there's nothing that's real
It's like a plastic heart too amputated to feel

I got a soda can bible song
Yeah
A paranoid jumbotron
The lord took the weekend off
What
The fly on the wall doesn't know what's wrong
If I could forget myself
Find another lie to tell
From the bottom of an oil well
Cellphone's ringing to talk to my brain cell

Come on
What
All the dudes with the banjos
Chicks with bricks
Animals with bananas
I got my hand like a mirror
Make your hand like a mirror
You can see what's around

Uptight sleeper got it out of the frame
I shake a leg on the ground like an epileptic battery man
I'm making my move
I'm loose like a belt
Then I'm worse for wear but I'm wearing it well
Tell me what's wrong with a little grind and bump
When the stereos erupt with the kick drum punch
But you do it once
Probably do it again and again
You did it before but (???) condemn
You had a rough night
The ride's just begun
When a little bit of this
The past where it's done
Don't let it hold you back but you're already said
No dead flower's gonna grow till the dirt gets wet

One two
You know what to do
Push it on down and push it back through
Five six
Dudes and chicks
Everybody get together like we're running both ways
One two
You know what to do
Break it on down and push it back through
Five six
Dudes and chicks
Everybody get together like we're running both ways

Gut bucket and a bottle of rain
It's like the school house lights will never turn on again
Till the bottom wears off of these high heel boots
Back hone moves to the backbone grooves
Everybody working hard til the yard's all clean
And the dishes wash good in the washing machine
You're walking to work with the boys and the girls
Doing it together cos it's the end of the world
Now there's everybody's sweating
Forgetting what's on their minds
With your hands like a mirror you can see what's inside
When you're down and out pounding and there's nothing was real
It's like a amputated (???)

One two
Tou know what to do
Push it on down and push it back through
Five six
Dudes and chicks
Everybody get together like we're running both ways
One two
You know what to do
Break it on down and push it back through
Five six
Dudes and chicks
Everybody get together like we're running both ways
