lyrics

We shared an elevator ride,
Broken English smiling wide,
I brought a conversation with me, hoping for a sparkle inside,
She held a notebook to her chest,
Looked me up and down and guessed,
We knew the only thing we shared was chance proximity,
She glared at me, I stared at her,
We both returned to what we were,
She glared at me, I stared at her,
We both returned to what we were...

She backed away from all my jive,
Still I kept the jive alive,
My words were fading aerosol from a rusty, drooping gun,
And my old codger college try, and the please don’t do or die,
And I’m fading like a scar,
‘Cause a scar is all we are,
Forgotten in the time it took,
To never take a second look,
The pieces fall on to the floor,
She was not joking anymore...

I took that as a “maybe.”

I took an elevator ride,
Broken English smiling wide,
And I must have seemed like a pasty dream,
From the place where the atoms collide,
She smiled and nodded at my lines,
And they landed at a pretty good rate,
But I kept on pushing way beyond the expiration date,
I read the lines, but not the room,
The smile dissolved into concern,
Neither one of us could slow me down,
The dream deferred, the tired clown...

I took that as a “maybe.”
