    The Elevator

    1st floor decide what you'll be one day
    With a head full of comment and nothing to say
    2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
    Soon you realize that listening don't pay
    3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
    Up or down it's time to choose


    The elevators going up
    Quick the door's about to shut
    Too late we're full just hang around
    It won't be long - it won't be long before it's down

    4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask
    Is an honest day's pay for an honest day's graft
    5th floor you may make a little more money
    Now it's apparent downstairs ain't so funny
    6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie
    2 weeks vacation in june or july



    7th floor expenses and private schools
    Pushing a pen you're not turning the tools
    8th floor position, respect and acclaim
    Move up the 9th for fortune or fame
    10th floor for investment and real estate
    Recouping the redies before it's too late
    11th floor the penthouse the final cut
    With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut
