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 elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
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 elevate me
You lift me high
Just high enough to see
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
You elevate me
You elevate me
You elevate me
Come on baby, dance on stilts
Dance on stilts with me
You elevate me
