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 you-you-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   You throw off the shame    And you dance on stilts with me      You elevate me   You elevate me   C’mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me   You elevate me   You elevate me
