Dance On Stilts

On the outside I'm in the high rise 

Headin' for a meeting, shining up my greeting

See me in a white suit with a mirror tie



And you you-you-you

Elevate me

You throw off the shame 

And you dance on stilts with me



And on the inside, I'm on my knees

Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery 

Too sick to stand, to try to understand



But you you-you-you

Elevate me

You lift me high, just high enough to see

You you-you-you

Elevate me

You throw off the shame 

And you dance on stilts with me

You throw off the shame 

And you dance on stilts with me



And no one suspects a thing 

They're all hiding just the same

They ache for an outbound train 

And the wheels stopped turning in their brains



And you you-you-you

Elevate me

You lift me high, just high enough to see

You you-you-you

Elevate me

You throw off the shame 

And you

You throw off the shame 

And you dance on stilts with me



You elevate me

You elevate me

C'mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me

You elevate me

You elevate me
