This is the second demo for Ups & Downs, recorded in 1979, the first demo being an instrumental track called “Elevator Lady” This version features A Resident on lead vocals, rather than Snakefinger.
[Verse 1]
She was opening up an Elevator
On a rainy day
Sitting on a little stool
And looking for a way
She said she often went to sleep
And dreamed about a prince
The Prince was sad and lonely
And he seldom made no sense
[Verse 2]
Once he turned and stared at her
And then removed his coat
She said that he was much too thin
And then I cleared my throat
I asked if she would like to take me
To another floor
She laughed
And said she probably wouldn't
Then she closed the door
