Picture the skyline right over the sky Picture your image right over your eye And now you see, you see it fall And now you see, you see you'll fall ♪ See your friends around the temple on the street downtown Run forth to tell them all the truth that you've found One by one, they go up inside I thought that I'd been left behind too Yellow elevator, yellow elevator Yellow elevator, yellow elevator Stuck on the ground 'til I found another way there Now you take a ride on that yellow elevator Seeing through golden light ♪ Pierce that ceiling with the light that you find If you try to hold, the spirit can burn your eyes You hold the fire and catch your soul I held the fire and I want it so again Yellow elevator, yellow elevator Yellow elevator, yellow elevator Nothing's the same after that elevator Nothing's the same after that yellow elevator ♪ Seeing through golden light ♪ Now I can see how the seasons all repeat And that love makes new things Out of nothing that it needs The generation born will grow from all the crimes before And then stack up with all the heads That are piled outside your door ♪ I understand that I exist in the between Of what was and what will be In those blurry vision scenes That appear but pass us by And for a moment gets you high 'Til you find your way back down Become the truth you've found
