Workin' like a slug in this high rise
Workin' on the fifty-first
Claustrophobia in my eyes
I got a nightmare; it's the worst

And when I gotta go home
I hope the power stays strong
I haveta bite my tongue so my mouth don't foam
When I'm in that thing too long

Stuck in an elevator
Can't get it up and it won't go down
Stuck in an elevator
Floor'll be wet if it isn't brown

Hate it in the elevator
Not in shape takin' stairs
Rather face an alligator
Or a couple o' grizzly bears

I hope I never get stuck
I might have to scream and cry
Instead of a phone they should stock that place with some Depends
For no one gets out dry

Stuck in an elevator
Can't get it up and it won't go down
Stuck in an elevator
Floor'll be wet if it isn't brown

Can't get air, can't escape in time
Don't go in there
Stuck in an elevator
Suckin' it up, think I'd rather drown

Stuck in an elevator
Muzak 'round

Gonna work on the street level
Gonna beg with sign and cup
Even sell my soul to the devil
So I don't have to go up

Gotta get another gig
This "Office Space" just sucks
Don't want to have to climb another stair for money
Give up all the bucks

Stuck in an elevator
Can't get it up and it won't go down
Stuck in an elevator
Floor'll be wet if it isn't brown
