welcome to the third floor entresol plus one more you say almost everyday this floor you want to stay here all night long until you come on back where you once belonged when you go six to seven let alone eight and above third floor is where you’ll find the love get back on the floor of three and when you come around this time you will see that there is no seventh floor let alone alone an eleventh floor there is no car from you to me when you send for number eight you will find there is no hate just take the elevator back to three three

thunderbolt 03:57
lyrics

Please tell me who are you What floor you’re going to Although we’ve never met It’s like we’ve always met It hit me like a bolt Just like a thunderbolt Now, just inside this lift
my thoughts are all adrift Can all the dates be you On the floor you’re going to You’re not that far away Not so far away You are a thunderbolt Maybe THE thunderbolt foretold (yeah the thunderbolt I know) You are a/the thunderbolt A/the thunderbolt to behold Want to ask you things Your fave song Bowie sings Ask you to a dance A 1940’s dance Now where is that button All clarity forgotten Please tell me who are you What floor we’re going to Although we’ve never met It’s like we’ve always met You hit me like a bolt Just like a thunderbolt let’s spin around the car let’s see how far until these worlds collide someone picks a side You are the thunderbolt Yeah the thunderbolt I know You are the thunderbolt The thunderbolt to behold

ghost on six 05:06
lyrics
buy track
Once a time, in a city so windy Skyscrapers climbed, to floors above fifty This is where an old man Appeared on the scene Appeared it seemed She met the man at the elevator bank He looked rather old and had achieved rank They got into the car and headed to the same floor Sixty four do you know why you’re here do you know why you’re heerrreee yes i know why im here let me breathe a little let me breathe a lot let me breathe a little let me see you home She went to work, he sat down in reception Was he here on business, or there on projection? Do you know why you’re here I KNOW WHY IM HERE your protection She left for a coffee run, the man was still there He followed her to the elevator, thinning white hair Dressed up for a funeral Dressed up like he really cared Down in lobby coffee land, she ordered up some drinks The old man followed, he watched but never blinked A plate crashed, a cup was dropped - she spun her head around The old man was never there - the ghost was never found

seventh floor 02:56
lyrics
buy track
i heard pray tell something about seven this is the floor where they wrote just like heaven and when you walk out into the hall you wonder if it’s worth all of the attention to go floor by floor floor seven or home, home and you know this is one really special floor it’s why the button won’t work when you press close door because you know this is where it’s at it’s floor seven and you want to think that it’s heaven before you press lobby and goooo home
