The Builders And The Butchers - Black Elevator lyrics

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 And no one here knows your name And you won't be coming home You're going down in a black elevator Oh, 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
