Elevator Boy - Wild Animals

I took a ride rusty old time machine

To summer 2000 my conscience was clean

At nights me and Fali would get lost in the alley

And sunrise wake up on the beach

2 bottles of cava with Evelyn and Barbara

I worked through the summer and flew out to see her

Stayed with her family

Took ‘shrooms at a party

And when I got back I started my degree

So where is my life

I do see it once or twice

And don’t forget when all this comes to an end

I’m just an elevator boy

Jump 12 months later the same elevator

Though we’d started a new band called «Hour Standard Romance»

Played a few shows then we all came to blows

Just a video and a cd for posterity

The sour taste of failure

2 goths from Australia at the hotel Flamingo

My friends' old blue Twingo

It’s not about nostalgia but some things do haunt you like Mary

With a tear running down her cheek

So where is my life

I catch glimpses once or twice

And don’t forget when all this comes to an end

I’m just an elevator boy
