The Elevator Confusion

[Verse] Well, it happened on a Sunday, just a little after Three, In that Horseshoe casino building, where the folks all come alive, I saw her hit the button, watchin’ numbers slowly climb, She was headed up to 8, but funny: she took her time. [Verse 2] I was watching the number go up to eight then back down to ours just, shootin’ the breeze with Amanda, When the doors slid open wide, there she stood again, Confusion filled her pretty face, as real as it could be, She mumbled, "Guess I'll try again," and it closed on 1 to 3. [Chorus] Oh, the lobby doors keep openin', But she ain't comin' out, Livin' in an elevator, can't seem to figure it out, Round and round she travels, each floor a brand new doubt, That woman in the elevator, she'll make ya scream and shout. [Verse 3] We watched the lights a-flickerin', from 8 back down to ours, Then back up to 7, what was she lookin' for? Every time we thought she'd get it, she’d pause and hesitate, Like she was playin' hide and seek with destiny and fate. [Verse 4] The janitor, old Earl, he couldn’t help but laugh, Said, "I’ve seen some crazy things, but this one takes the staff," She hit the lobby one more time, but before she could be seen, She hit that button once again, a modern-day machine. [Chorus] Oh, the lobby doors keep openin', But she ain't comin' out, Livin' in an elevator, can't seem to figure it out, Round and round she travels, each floor a brand new doubt, That woman in the elevator, she'll make ya scream and shout.
