Elevator Songtext

von Jack Hardy

Everyone knew that something had cracked
Lately they even wrote songs
Everyone knew of something she lacked
Very few asked what was wrong
Almost to a tee their lips were all sealed
Totally immersed in their game
Only using the muse she revealed
Refusing to mention it by name


Elfin ears sifting what to keep
Long wispy curls hiding spikes
Eyes that are always falling asleep
Venus deMilo-ing dislikes
All her collections of lyrics with names
Tore holes in her confidence game
Occasionally brightening her day just the same Refusing to mention it by name

Endless numbers lit up as she passed
Lifting her spirits like a jet
Everyone said she would never be last
Valentines stuffed in her net
All of us knew she collected us all
Temporary insanity or blissfully sane
Only I knew it to be her downfall
Refusing to mention it by name
