Elevator Boy

took a ride rusty old time machine,
 to summer 2000 my conscience was clean.
 At nights me and Fali would get lost in the alley
 and sunrise wake up on the beach.
 2 bottles of cava with Evelyn and Barbara,
 I worked through the summer and flew out to see her.
 Stayed with her family,
 took 'shrooms at a party
 and when I got back I started my degree.
 So where is my life,
 I do see it once or twice
 And don't forget when all this comes to an end,
 I'm just an elevator boy.
 Jump 12 months later the same elevator,
 though we'd started a new band called "Hour Standard Romance".
 Played a few shows then we all came to blows,
 just a video and a cd for posterity.
 The sour taste of failure,
 2 goths from Australia at the hotel Flamingo,
 my friends' old blue Twingo.
 It's not about nostalgia but some things do haunt you like Mary
 with a tear running down her cheek.
 So where is my life,
 I catch glimpses once or twice
 And don't forget when all this comes to an end,
 I'm just an elevator boy.
