Lyrics
I ain't ridin in no damn elevator. I aint gonna slam myself in some box If you wanna see me offer me stairs Either that or I'm out of your hair.
Even the fire marshal told me so They're a bad idea from the start They don't work, and never had They'll just shorten the tick of my heart.
I remember all the worst ones The ones built into stairwells They could make a phone booth feel roomy They were the hieght of technology in 1940 Now they're just slow and heavy coffins.
How long does it take to get from 2 to 3? Long enough for me to cry GET ME OUT GET ME OUT I WANT TO BE FREE or else I'm gonna try to kick my way to sanity Kick my way to sanity Kick my way to sanity Kick my way to sanity
Appointments on the 42nd floor The view is great they say! I'll stop by at 10:30 or so when the heavy traffic is away.
I ain't ridin in no damn elevator I'm retired now anyway I don't have to go anywhere I don't want
No stairs? Home I'll stay.

You are making me feel very claustrophobic. I like the idea of just owning your own phobias and turning them into dance songs!
Thanks!
I like your expressive delivery and pointed viewpoint. I worry about this every time I get into an elevator and now after your song, I am going to worry more.
No, please! My purpose is not to spread fear, just acknowledge my own weirdness!
At least you'll get your cardio in walking to the 42nd floor... Clever lyrics and great delivery.
