Lyrics[edit | edit source]
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
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 (You, you, you)
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You (You, you, you)
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
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
And you (You, you, you)
Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You (You, you, you)
Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame
And then you dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
You elevate me
You elevate me, c'mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
