lyrics

40 Floors

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me,
With your busted fin,
Will you breathe life again?
You rip through late night concrete,
Just to live again.

When it rains,
It drips Gasoline.

There’s a ghost in the elevator.
There’s a ghost… rising.

40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.
(Tell me I’m not crazy)
40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.

There’s a rival empire, between us.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me,
With your busted lip,
Will you fight back again?
You set your aim on Wall Street
To cheat the bull again.

When it rains,
It sprays Gasoline.

We’re the ghost in the elevator.
We’re the ghost… rising.

40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.
(Tell me I’m not crazy)
40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.

There’s a rival empire, between us.

40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.

40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun.
(Tell me I’m not crazy)
40 floors closer to the sun.
40 floors closer to the sun, to the sun.

There’s a rival empire…
