Elevator Boots lyrics - Counting Crows

Bobby was a kid from round the town

Kicks pumped up and head held down

Underwater more than he was up

He dreamed submarines in bottle green

Imaginary flight machines

But in blue jean flares he bubbled like a 7up

Everybody wants to know you

When you're the only one to know

Shoot it up until you feel alive then play one more show

Plug into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around

(And you can't stop feeling)

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

(And you can't help healing)

They want you and you want to

With their lips on fire and your head unscrewed

But it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Bobby doesn't know her name

He holds on tightly just the same

Sometimes one more night is all you need

I met Alice near the Alamo

One summer in San Antonio

I remember her

I don't remember me

Everybody wants to know you

When you're the only one to know

Anything to feel alive and play one more show

Plug into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around

(And you can't stop feeling)

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

(And you can't help healing)

They want you and you want to

With their hips on fire and your head unglued

Til it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Alice knows the secret

And she could tell you now

If you want to

Cuz they want you

Do you want to?

I snake & sparkle, pant & glide

But it's hard to feel and I can't get high

And I don't always understand how to smile

Kids get sick of bein' bottled up

It drags you down until you throw it up

Get out of the house, and take a ride on the radio dial

Everybody wants to know you

When you're the only one to know

Everything that feels alive is in one more show

Plug into the buzz and shake it 'til it turns around

(And you can't stop feeling)

The Paul Smith suits and the elevator boots astound

(And you can't help healing)

They want you and you want to

Cuz the kid's so clean with his soul shampoo'd

And it's time to whip another change and hit one more town

Yeah, it's time to whip another change and hit one more town
