Dance On Stilts - Blue Oyster Cult



On the outside I'm in the high rise

Headin' for a meeting, shining up my greeting

See me in a white suit with a mirror tie



And you you-you-you

Elevate me

You throw off the shame

And you dance on stilts with me



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 you-you-you

Elevate me

You lift me high, just high enough to see

You you-you-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



And no one suspects a thing

They're all hiding just the same

They ache for an outbound train

And the wheels stopped turning in their brains



And you you-you-you

Elevate me

You lift me high, just high enough to see

You you-you-you

Elevate me

You throw off the shame

And you

You throw off the shame

And you dance on stilts with me



You elevate me

You elevate me

C’mon baby, dance on stilts, dance on stilts with me

You elevate me

You elevate me



I couldn't decide whether to put this in the Wish List section or not. I decided that it would make a wonderful adaptation for my Story. Please stand by...
