There's no using the stairs tonight. Black box will take you right

Many floors down where the earth is fire and molten

His tail is long, his legs are made of wood

A C A
You're going down in the black elevator.
G D
You tried to drink the water. The water wouldn't save

You're rowing up that river tonight

No one here knows your name. And you won't be coming home
