Lift Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is the place
Sit down, you’re safe now
You’ve been stuck in a lift
We’ve been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won’t hurt ever again
[Chorus]
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home
[Verse 2]
This is the place
Remember me? I’m the face you always see

[Chorus]
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Empty all your pockets
Because it’s time to come home
The smell of air conditioning
The fish are belly up
Ah, let it go
[Outro]
Today is the first day
Of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt
