The clock is ticking ticking
The clock is ticking ticking
The clock is ticking ticking
Up and down, down
Clock is ticking ticking
Clock is ticking ticking

I see him every day on the way to the shops
He never says a word but I think he's really hot
He keeps their secrets
Late at night
1206 (twelve oh six) has a mistress but she won't be his wife
Elevator Operator Can't you see
They've got what you need
Elevator Operator
I need to get off
And the clock is ticking but my heart won't stop
Elevator Operator
Up and down

Now I think he's really lonely
I've seen it in his eyes
So I followed him home
Dressed in disguise
He's a New York boy
Tried and true
Oh, Mister, please, don't you know, I've got it bad for you
He's my elevator operator
Can't you see
They've got what you need
I need to get off
and the clock is ticking but my heart won't stop

Up and down

Debutante life can be so mundane
When you're dripping in pearls fortune and fame
Sometimes all you crave
Is a not so quiet ending to the hit parade

He's seen it all
And never seems impressed
And I'm totally hooked on him indifference
Top Floor
Emergency Stop
Please darling don't you break my heart
He's my elevator operator, can't you see
Elevator operator I've got what you need
Elevator operator I need to get off
And the clock is ticking but my heart won't stop
E Op
Packed tight squeeze
E Op
Go down on your knees
E Op
You need to get off
Then the clock is ticking but my heart won't stop
