On the outside I'm in the high rise

shining up my greeting

See me in a white suit

with a mirror tie

And on the inside, I'm on my knees

Crawling an aching mile, living on the Bowery 

Too sick to stand, to try to understand

But you Elevate me

You lift me high, just high enough to see

You Elevate me

You throw off the shame

And you dance on stilts with me

You throw off the shame 

And you dance on stilts with me
