Elevator Boots

Bobby was a kid from 'round the town
Kicks pumped up and head held down
Underwater more than he was up
He dreamed submarines and bottle green
Imaginary flight machines
But in blue jean flairs he’d bubble like a 7-up
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
Shoot it 'til you feel alive and play one more show
Look into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around
You can’t stop feeling
The boss-man suits and the elevator boots astound
And you can’t help healing
And they want you and you want to
With your lips on fire and your head unscrewed
But it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
Bobby doesn’t know her name
He holds on tightly just the same
Sometimes one more night is all you need
I met Alice near the Alamo one summer in San Antonio
I remember her, I don’t remember me
Everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
And man anything to feel alive and play one more show
Look into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around
You can’t stop feeling
The boss-man suits and the elevator boots astound
And you can’t help healing
And they want you and you want to
With the hips on fire and your head unglued
'Til it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
Alice knows the secret
And she could tell you now
If you want to
Because they want you
Do you want to
Sneak and sparkle pen glide
And it’s hard to feel
And I can’t get high
And I don’t always understand how to survive
Man kids get sick of being bottled up
And it drags you down 'til you throw it up
Gotta get outta the house take a ride on the radio dial
And everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know
Yeah everything that feels alive is in one more show
Look into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around
You can’t stop feeling
The boss-man suits and the elevator boots astound
And you can’t help healing
And they want you and you want to
If the kid’s so clean with his soul shampooed
And it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
Oh yeah it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
Hey man it’s time to whip another chain and hit one more town
