lyrics: paula mcmath
music: paula mcmath/Ian Hattwick

the night is blacker
the water deeper
and there’s no where
for me to sleep here
I may look free
but what you don’t see
is every moment
I am driven by a hunger

it’s getting harder
instead of easier
this is the big bang
not just a teaser
there’s no return
no where to run
if I could make one
could I ever love a stranger

elevator
is goin’ down
not goin’ later
it’s goin’ now
it’s goin’ fast
and I can’t stop it
I had the keys
right here in my pocket
but they’ve fallen
down the shaft
and they’ll be there
ever after
elevator
is goin’ down
elevator
is goin’ down

can’t see the future
can’t make it better
you want release from
the threat of never
can’t make the need less
won’t go away
for all our days
we will not escape forever

chorus
