The elevator wants to talk
Beyond your destination
It's been listening
To everything we have to say
Number 10 is breaking up
Number 4 is so in love
They miss their dog so much
In Number 68
Number 99 forgot
The birthday for her brother
Number 30 is still hiding
The illness from his mother
The elevator wants to talk
But only knows the words
For up and down
Floor and ground
If there is fire
Please do not use
Number 1 travels to
The rooftop every day
17 takes vegetables
To 5 and 88
27 has a lot
Of passion over trains
And was so lonely till they found
That 40 has the same
13 has a symphony
She's humming all the time
14 wants to hum along
But is really very shy
209 only goes
Outside before the light
Worry beads in fingers
And mumbling all the ride
The elevator wants to talk
But only knows the words
For up and down
Floor and ground
If there is fire
Please do not use
70 lights up a smoke
Always apologising
The voices change
The floors remain
And the rents keep rising
