The Elevator Prologue Lyrics – Hell's Kitchen

I'm safe and I'm suffocating
We live in Manhattan Plaza which is cheap housing for artists
Which means almost everyone who lives here is an artist
Which means
You never know what you're gonna hear when these elevator doors open up
Yeah, that's Mr. Gordon 32nd floor, forever on his trumpet
And watch, it's gonna open on 27th
Panera sisters are always having their dance class, I swear
Like somehow every hour of the day
And I kind of hope it's gonna open on 17
I mean, I do always like 17
Yeah, I got no idea who that is or what they're saying
But, but I think they're in love
And then 9 is the poets, 8 is the painters
We got that whole string section, right on 7, 7, 6, 5 and 4
And when you hit that ground floor, piano
Always piano
