Lyrics
The Elevator
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
time is fleeting
you can't stop time
hearts are beating
cause there ain't no time
dial that number
stories fly
see their faces,
empty places
uh, elevator
time goes by
uh, generator
love flies by good-bye, good-bye
time is hurting
but it ain't a crime
someone's bleeding
all the time
too much tension
in a second
just repeat it
cause i need it
uh, elevator
indicator
accelerator
uh, generator
turning on,
turning elevator on
