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 fallSee your friends around
The temple on the street downtown
Run forth to tell them
All the truth that you've found
One by one they go up inside
I thought that I'd been left behind tooYellow elevator, yellow elevator
Yellow elevator, yellow elevatorStuck on the ground 'til
I found another way there
Now you take a ride
On that yellow elevatorSeeing through golden lightPierce 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, againYellow elevator, yellow elevator
Yellow elevator, yellow elevator
Nothing's the same after that elevator
Nothing's the same after that yellow elevatorSeeing through golden lightNow I can see how
The seasons all repeat
And that love makes new things
Out of nothing that it needsThe generation born will grow
From all the crimes before
And then stack up with all the heads
That are piled outside your doorI understand that
I exist in the between
Of what was and what will be
In those blurry vision scenesThat appear but pass us by
And for a moment get you high
'Til you find your way back down
Become the truth you've found
