Lyrics
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.
Night comes with the smell of murder
and shadows fall long on my trail
such are the hazards of my craft
all lights disperse
and the devil takes me down
there is panic in my fascination
like soothing wine is my despair
gracefully I fall to pieces
then lights disperse
and the devil takes me down
the gears keep turning
and the ropes stretch far
in this world of hopelessness
I have come a long way now
the fatal riddles
beckon me
I have come a long way now
a leap from faith
and gravity
I have come a long way now
to find the nest
where treasures sleep
I have come a long way now
the fairest lies
are hidden in the deep
in the deep
there is vanity in my destruction
there is mockery in my ordeal
indefinite is the course of my decent
when lights disperse
and the devil takes me
