I The Mighty - Escalators Lyrics
Floating down escalatorsYour eyes are green, your heart is blackYou've done some ugly things, now it's too late to take them backJust money mongers here, who never filled their karma cupsNow death has brought them here, and this room in hell is filling upFrom town to town he cameTo build his wealth he bought them outJust build the biggest one, then all the smaller ones come downWe live the golden age 1909, 1909Much money to be made monopolize, monopolizeWoah oh, oh you're so, deserving of the place you're inEscalating down in rowsWoah oh, oh you're soul, was conscious of the path you choseHere's proof that somebody knowsOn a wooden stage he speaksEloquently about his feast, he swayed a simple folkBut in the middle of his speechA none position screams "A man of one! A man of one!"His threat was well received and so he hung and so he hungAnd now it's all verse one, it's all verse one(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! )Woah oh, oh you're so, deserving of the place you're inEscalating down in rowsWoah oh, oh you're soul, was conscious of the path you choseHere's proof that somebody knowsAnd you can call, oh brother callYes, you can call, oh brother callNo one can hear you, not at allBut you can call, oh brother callAnd you can call, oh brother call(Floating down escalators, you're eyes are green you're heart is black)Yes, you can call, oh brother call(You've done some ugly things, now it's too late to take them back)No one can hear you, not at all(Just money mongers here, who never filled their karma cups)But you can call, oh brother call(Now death has brought them here, and this room in hell is filling up)We give you death by forty-fiveIt's what we call your last time out, your last time outBy forty-five, it's what we call your last time outWoah oh, oh you're so, deserving of the place you're inEscalating down in rowsWoah oh, oh you're soul, was conscious of the path you choseHere's proof that somebody knowsWe give you death by forty-fiveIt's what we call your last time out, your last time outBy forty-five, it's what we call your last time out, your last time out
