The Doobie Brothers - 45th Floor lyrics

Politician drivin' down the road Flashin' that smile that got him the vote Here's another country girl He's teachin' her about the world in his room On the 45th floor - get 'em all while they're young Campaign money comes rollin' in Ain't nobody askin' where it's been Talk about a smokin' gun What'd we pay to get his son out of jail Don't inhale On the 45th floor We all know what's been happenin' Ain't no slappin' him down We're supposedly invited to the party But the elevator's never gonna stop On the 45th floor Doesn't matter if it's day or night 'Cause we're all gonna pay the price and the party rolls on Used to be a rumour goin' round The people tried to run my man outta town We thought we'd see him ride the rails No one's ever gonna nail him down All because of the 45th floor We all know what's been happenin' Ain't no slappin' him down We're supposedly invited to the party But the elevator's never gonna stop On the 45th floor Doesn't matter if it's left or right 'Cause we're all gonna pay the price And the party rolls on None of these fools ever thinks about the pain they cause It's all about an image to uphold how could anybody be so bold Takin' all the candy from the hands of a child We all know what's been happenin' Ain't no slappin' him down We're supposedly invited to the party But the elevator's never gonna stop We all know what's been happenin' Ain't no slappin' him down We're supposedly invited to the party But the elevator's never gonna stop On the 45th floor Doesn't matter if it's day or night 'Cause we're all gonna pay the price And the party rolls on
