Letra 'The Elevator'

1st floor decide what you`ll be one day
with a head full of comment and nothing to say
2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
soon you realize that listening don`t pay
3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
up or down it`s time to choose

(chorus)
The elevators going up
quick the door`s about to shut
too late we`re full just hang around
it won`t be long - it won`t be long before it`s down

4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask
is an honest day`s pay for an honest day`s graft
5th floor you may make a little more money
now it`s apparent downstairs ain`t so fuuny
6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie
2 weeks vacation in june or july

(chorus)
The elevators going up
quick the door`s about to shut ....

7th floor expenses and private schools
pushing a pen you`re not turning the tools
8th floor position, respect and acclaim
move up the 9th for fortune or fame
10th floor for investment and real estate
recouping the redies before it`s tool late
11th floor the penthouse the final cut
with a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut

(chorus)
The elevators going up
quick the door`s about to shut ....
