Elevator Man Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Who's going down? 

Who's going down? 

Who's going down? 

Who's going down? 

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 am so polite I'm the elevator man, friction and harmony 

Who's gonna ride with me, I'm the elevator man? 

Who's going down, who's coming 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, moving slow without a sound? 

Who's going down, who's going down, who's going down? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going down? 

Please pretty baby, won't you come to me? 

Won't you let me be your daddy come sit here on my knee? 

Come tell your sugar daddy all of your fears 

Cry for me darling let me taste your tears 

As they roll down your face and on to the sand 

We're going down together I'm the elevator man 

Now, we're moving slow without a sound going up and going down 

Take an intermission while the bird is in hand 

With two in the bush, so give yourself a push 

Won't you come and ride with me elevator man? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going down? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going down? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going? 

Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love 

Goodbye to the world that you used to know above 

Say goodbye to your momma and your daddy too 

We're going to a place that you never even knew 

Now, we're moving slow without a sound going up and going down 

Take an intermission while the bird is in hand 

With two in the bush, so give yourself a push 

Won't you come and ride with the elevator man? 

Friction and harmony who's gonna ride with me? 

Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand 

Eyes toward the empty skies, searching for the big surprise 

Who's gonna ride with the elevator man? 

I said, who's going down? 

Who's going down, who's going? 

I said, who's going down 

Who's going down, who's going? 

I said, who's going down 

Who's going down, who's going? 

I said, who's going down?
