Verse
Riff
On the outside I'm in the high rise
Headin' for a meeting,
- –
shining up my greeting
See me in a white suit
with a mirror tie
Chorus

And you Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me

Riff – D – C C - G
Verse
And on the inside, I'm on my knees
Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery
Too sick to stand, to try to understand
Chorus 2
But you Elevate me
You lift me high, just high enough to see
You Elevate me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me
You throw off the shame
And you dance on stilts with me

And no one suspects a thing
They're all hiding just the same
They ache for an outbound train
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
