Lyrics

Who's goin down
Who's goin down - who's goin 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 am so polite - I'm the elevator man

Friction and harmony - who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man

Who's going down who's comin 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
Who's goin down yeah - movin' 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 on to 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

I said who's going down - who's going down - who's going down

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

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

You wanna take a ride with the elevator man?
Friction and harmony, who's gonna ride with me?
Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand
Eyes towards the empty skies
Searchin' for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?

Who's going down - who's going down - who's going down

So who's going down - who's going down - who's going down

Who's going down - who's going down - who's going down

So who's going down?
