Intro
Verse 1
Well, I Found You In The Basement With Your Poor Head In Your Hands
You Was Crying About The Weight Of All The Universe Demands
Well, You'd Been To See The Doctor, Oh, You'd Been To See The Priest
You'd Been To See The Psychic, Though You Couldn't Quite Believe
They All Said The Same Thing, Much To Your Despair
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Verse 2
Well, Robin Hood Was Pretty Good With An Arrow And A Bow
And Little John Was Big And Strong From The Stories I've Been Told
They Roamed Through Sherwood Forest, Wreaking Havoc Door To Door
Stealing From The Rich So They Could Give It To The Poor
'Cause They Both Knew The One Rule That Gets You Anywhere
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Chorus
You Might Want A Ticket To Take You To The Top
You Might Want An Express Train Without A Single Stop
Your Lover's In The Penthouse, There's Romance In The Air
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Verse 3
Well, The Revolution Came And Went, But Nothing Really Changed
So They Rolled All Of The Bodies Into One Big Shallow Grave
And They Called It A Museum, And They Made Us Wait In Line
To Pay Our Last Respects For Only $19.99
You Get What You Pay For, Buyer Best Beware
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Verse 4
Well, David Slew Goliath With A Slingshot In His Fist
Yeah, And Elvis Caused A Riot Just By Wiggling His Hips
Oh, And Ever Since That Atom Split, They've Done All That They Can
To Gather Up The Pieces, Yeah, And Put Them Back Again
History's Forgotten, The Future's Everywhere
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Chorus
You Might Want A Ticket To Take You To The Top
You Might Want An Express Train Without A Single Stop
They're Counting Down To Midnight In The Middle Of Times Square
When The Elevator's Broken, Oh, You Gotta Take The Stairs
Verse 5
Well, I Guess If What They Say About The Universe Is True
That It Started With A Bang, Then It'll End The Same Way, Too
And You Wonder Why No Savior Wants To Step Up For The Job
When We Killed All The Good Kennedys, Nailed Jesus To The Cross
Well, It's Gonna Be A Minute Before God Gets To Your Prayers
Outro
When The Elevator's Broken
And The Air Is Full Of Smoke, And
You Can't Breathe In Without Choking
So You Kick The Door Wide Open
'Cause You Gotta Take The Stairs
(Woo, Woo)
