Picture the skyline right over the sky
Picture your image right over your eye
Now you see, you see it fall
Now you see, you see you fall

See your friends around
The temple on the street [bad word] forth to tell them
All the [bad word] 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
Try behold the spirit it 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 get you high
'Til you find your way back down [bad word] the [bad word] you've found
