There's no using the stairs tonightBlack box will take you rightMany floors down where the earth is fire and moltenAnd the bellman tips his hatyou're trying not to notice thathis tail is long, his legs are made of woodAnd no one here knows your nameand you won't be coming homeYou're going down in a black elevatorOh, You'll try to drink the waterOh, the water wouldn't save youYou're going down in the black elevatorAnd you're rowing up that river tonightAnd you hear the boxcar shakeand you know how long it takesfor the fruit to rotit turned all black and rottenAnd the years all bend togetherand the gears all blend togetherand the cables break you're sinking to the groundSongtexteNo one here knows your nameand you won't be coming homeYou're going down in a black elevatorYou try to drink the wateroh, the water wouldn't save youYou're going down in the black elevatorAnd you're rowing up that river tonightAnd I know a better placeIt's so much further downYou'll ever be mine in thereWith a hammer coming downAnd ever you work the earthand your hands will turn to stoneNo one here knows your nameand you won't be coming home You're going down in a black elevatorYou try to drink the waterOh, the water wouldn't save youYou're going down in the black elevatorAnd you're rowing up that river tonightI said you're rowing up that river tonight Aus Songtexte Mania
