In passage of time
To a cigarette burn
In the book that I read
To the sentence I learn
Up and down, going round
Going round till we drown again
I'm gonna set myself up
I'm gonna up to the top
Up to the top to the top
I'm going down to the ground
Going round till we drown
Going round till we drown again
Factory
Imitation of life
Factory
We all go out to lunch
A certain rayon we know
Has left us unaware
Someone else has taken leave
Someone who did care
Elevators just don't crash
The answer lies within
Elevators, elevators
Answer lies within
To the glittering prize
To the fool in the sky
I've got a jewel in my eye
I'm going up coming down
Going round till we drown
Going round till we drown again
To the center of the man
Because he had a plan
He had a plan to escape
But now we've got it on tape
Going up, coming down
Going around
Going round till we drown again
Factory
Imitation of life
Factory
We all go out to lunch
A certain rayon we know
Has left us unaware
Someone else has taken leave
Someone who did care
Elevators just don't crash
The answer lies within
Elevators, elevators
Answer lies within
Factory
Going out to lunch
Factory
Going out to lunch
