Only A Dream

Standing by the elevator
Feeling gloomy and down
Waiting for the flashing light
To lift me up from the ground
Then the elevator opened
And I saw her standing there
She had to be a young executive
She looked so corporate and clean
And I thought Id seen her somewhere before
On the cover of a magazine
I didnt think shed even look at me
Or bother to glance my way
But she actually smiled at me and said
Hi-ya handsome, have a good day
Chorus:
I must be dreaming if she looks at me
I gotta be dreaming, is it a fantasy
Now Ive got positive emotions
Buzzing round every molecule in me
I gotta be dreaming, is it reality

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
(chorus)
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 fuuny
6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie
2 weeks vacation in june or july
(chorus)
The elevators going up
Quick the door's about to shut ....

Chezidek

College of the Arts and Human Developments,
My name is Chezidek and you need my muse;
And like taking the stairs regularly to improve your health,
But the elevators are far from me.

Wonder of weird things

I wonder about weird things…
My mind flits and fidgets
I wonder about genuises…
Pickles and idiots

I ponder of things
Like God, heaven, and widgets…
And do Crowded elevators
smell different to midgets?

Lightning

we hear the dealers with their words
that ride the tails
of their cigarette smoke
sliding through the tunnels of our ears

those greasy marionettes of
real bone and blood
stand on the corner of washington square

vision stinging
eyes blurring

elevators got your rising so high
17 floors you want so much more
elevators got you rising so high
17 floors you want so much more

there's lightning on the ceiling
coming from the corner of her eye...

Elevator Man

Im the elevator man,
I take people up and down all day,
Some get out others stay,
Some get off some go all the way.
Im the eklevator man,
I see lots of different faces,
I see losers going nowhere,
I see winners going places.
I take em up and I bring em down
Everybody goes up and everybody comes down
Everydody goes up and everybody comes down
Dirty old man with wanderinr eyes,
Lookin at bums and tits and thighs.
Macho man with rub on tan,
Hes the man with wandering hands.
People with dandruff, spots and pimples,
People with warts and scars and dimples,
They push by dont give a damn,
Im just the elevator man.
I see them go up and I see em come down.

Kevin Spacey

I feel it's a responsibility for anyone who breaks through a certain ceiling... to send the elevator back down and give others a helpful lift.

Lets Go Crazy

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and thats a mighty long time
But Im here 2 tell u
Theres something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in beverly hills
U know the one - dr everythingll be alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
Youre on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

Elevator Up

Slim and tall behind me
Spinnin' me off of my feet
Headin' for the D
We're taking our act to the street
Roll around the city, leavin' our tracks on the ground
Elevator up
Baby I don't wanna come down
Hangin' with sinners
The undesirable crowd
Tokin' on the train
Playin' our radio loud
Got a sweet need for speed that doesn't know no bounds
Elevator up
Baby I don't wanna come down
Spend a little time in the back of my mind
Now it may be time to pay up to go
I've done it
I've had it
I'm ready for bed
Anywhere at all

Jill Clayburgh

I came from dinner, went downtown with my friends, the elevator was down, I ran down the hall toward my room at 10 at night, having had two glasses of wine.

It's so much easier to go to the Sony movie complex when you're disabled. You take a great elevator. You get your own little private viewing area. I love it.

The last three books are much more a case of a moment of history, what happened almost by accident or coincidence, like being in the same elevator or lifeboat.

A broken heart is what makes life so wonderful five years later, when you see the guy in an elevator and he is fat and smoking a cigar and saying long-time-no-see.

Krzysztof Kieslowski

Someone knocks at the door of an apartment to borrow salt or sugar, people run into each other in the elevator, and in this way become inscribed in the spectator's memory.

Up

This elevator would escalate you
into the peak of shattering
and you will find me when
you grounded back your dreaming,
basking in the squalors
of the inevitable veracity

Ambrose Bierce

Safety-Clutch

Once I seen a human ruin
In a elevator-well.
And his members was bestrewin'
All the place where he had fell.

And I says, apostrophisin'
That uncommon woful wreck:
'Your position's so surprisin'
That I tremble for your neck!'

Then that ruin, smilin' sadly
And impressive, up and spoke:
'Well, I wouldn't tremble badly,
For it's been a fortnight broke.'

Then, for further comprehension
Of his attitude, he begs
I will focus my attention
On his various arms and legs--

I Ride my Elevator Alone

I ride my elevator alone. What an awkward silence it is to be alone.
I alone, with my soul and thoughts.
I alone, in the misty dust.
Second floor, third floor, and back to the beginning.
I ride my elevator alone, but then God steps in.
There in an awkward silence.
Silence.
Pure remorse.
All in the emptiness and the calamity of my own soul.
Alone, in the emptiness of my heart.
Alone, he looks; alone he stares, alone he wonders, and really cares.
Third floor, second, fifth, sixth, and seventh.
Alone.
Alone.
In the vast destruction of a holly oath.
It stops.
I am alone.
Truly, I ride alone, but the sound persists.
I can hear the silent voice of sin.
It incites me, it will not desist.

The Cowboy Song

Tears fall
Discard your innocent dreams
Loves fall
They kinda leave you empty
Leaves fall
The seasons pass you by
And you think
That maybe you can fly
Ceilings fall
With each romance you encounter
Clouds fall
With each moment of despair
Buildings fall
The pavement is their bed
But whats the last thing
That goes through your head
You take the elevator to the top
The next thing you know
There you are standing on the edge
And all the flashing lights and futile cries
