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 in bottle green

Imaginary flight machines

But in blue jean flares, he bubbled like a Seven-Up

Everybody wants to know you

When you're the only one to know

Shoot until you feel alive and play one more show

Plug into the buzz and shake it till it turns around

And you can't stop feeling

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

And you can't help healing

They want you, and you want to

With their lips on fire and your head unscrewed

But it's time to whip another change 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

Plug into the buzz and shake it till it turns around

And you can't stop feeling

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

And you can't help healing

They want you, and you want to

With their hips on fire and your head unglued

Till it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Alice knows the secret

And she could tell you now

If you want to

'Cause they want you

Do you want to?

I snake and sparkle, pant, and glide

And it's hard to feel, and I can't get high

And I don't always understand how to smile

Man, kids get sick of bein' bottled up

It drags you down until you throw it up

Gotta get out of 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

Plug into the buzz and shake it till it turns around

And you can't stop feeling

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

And you can't help healing

They want you, and you want to

With their kiss so clean, with their soul shampooed

And it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Oh yeah, it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Hey, man, it's time to whip another change and hit one more town
