lyrics

6TH FLOOD ELEVATOR BLUES

Don’t book a room above the 5th floor
When you stay at the Hard-Luck Hotel
The ladders won’t reach any higher
And if you fell.

It’s like the barman always told you
That winners always take the stairs
Because if there should be a fire
The elevator will take you there.

A pink moon rises over Oldtown
Along the street of no return
The cars lie naked and abandoned
And safe from harm.

You hang suspended from a wire
You crawl beneath the lizard’s lair
But please believe what Momma told you
The elevator will take you there.

Don’t book a room above the 5th floor
When you stay at the Hard-Luck Hotel
The ladders won’t reach any higher
And if you fell.

Words - S Burrows
