Oingo Boingo — Elevator Man

Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Yeah! [Verse 1] 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'm so polite, I'm the Elevator Man [Bridge] Friction and harmony Who's gonna ride with me? I'm the Elevator Man [Verse 2] 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 going down, yeah Movin' slow without a sound Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? [Verse 3] Please, pretty baby, won't you come to me Won't you let me your daddy, come and sit here on my knee And tell your sugar daddy all of your fears Cry for me, darling, let me taste your tears As they roll down your face and onto the sand We're going down together, I'm the elevator man [Chorus] Movin' slow without a sound Goin' up and goin' down Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push Won't you come and ride with the Elevator Man Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? [Verse 4] Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love Goodbye to the world that you used to know above Goodbye to your mama and your daddy, too We're goin' to a place that you never even knew [Chorus] Movin' slow without a sound Goin' up and goin' down Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push Won't you come and ride with the Elevator Man [Bridge] Friction and harmony Who's gonna ride with me Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand Eyes toward the empty sky Searching for the big surprise Who's gonna ride with the Elevator Man? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down? Who's goin' down?
