Elevator Boy

I took a ride rusty old time machine
To summer 2000 my conscience was clean
At nights me and Fali would get lost in the alley
And sunrise wake up on the beach
2 bottles of cava with Evelyn and Barbara
I worked through the summer and flew out to see her
Stayed with her family
Took ‘shrooms at a party
And when I got back I started my degree
So where is my life
I do see it once or twice
And don’t forget when all this comes to an end
I’m just an elevator boy
Jump 12 months later the same elevator
Though we’d started a new band called “Hour Standard Romance”
Played a few shows then we all came to blows
Just a video and a cd for posterity
The sour taste of failure
2 goths from Australia at the hotel Flamingo
My friends’ old blue Twingo
It’s not about nostalgia but some things do haunt you like Mary
With a tear running down her cheek
So where is my life
I catch glimpses once or twice
And don’t forget when all this comes to an end
I’m just an elevator boy
