Black Elevator

Black Elevator - The Builders and the Butchers

There's no using the stairs tonight

Black box will take you right

Many floors down where the earth is fire and molten

And the bellman tips his hat

You're trying not to notice that

His tail is long his legs are made of wood

No one here knows your namen

And you won't be coming home

You're going down in a black elevator

You'll try to drink the water

Oh the water wouldn't save you

You're going down in the black elevator

And you're rowing up that river tonight

And you hear the boxcar shake

And you know how long it takes

For the fruit to rot

It turned all black and rotten

And the years all bend together

And the gears all blend together

And the cables break

You're sinking to the ground

No one here knows your name

And you won't be coming home

You're going down in a black elevator

You try to drink the water

Oh the water wouldn't save you

You're going down in the black elevator

And you're rowing up that river tonight

And I know a better place

It's so much further down

You'll ever be mine in there

With a hammer coming down

And ever you work the earth

And your hands will turn to stone

No one here knows your name

And you won't be coming home

You're going down in a black elevator

You try to drink the water

Oh the water wouldn't save you

You're going down in the black elevator

And you're rowing up that river tonight

I said you're rowing up that river tonight

I said you're rowing up that river tonight
