Riff x 1 - -
On the outside I'm in the high rise
Headin' for a meeting,
-
shining up my greeting
See me in a white suit
with a mirror tie

And you Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
Riff x 1
Band Enters D
Riff -
And on the inside, I'm on my knees
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery
Too sick to stand, to try to understand
But you Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You Elevate me
You throw off the shame
-Bf
And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me

And no one suspects a thing
They're all hiding just the same
They ache for an outbound train
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
