lyrics

Don’t let ‘em fool you
With the preservation fairy tales
‘Cause it’s not true
And if you think it is
Well, I got a bridge to sell you

The city of sin
That we’re livin’ in
Where do you think temptation is coming from?
Fire, and brimstone, and everything hot
A grain elevator you think, but it’s not
It’s a gateway to hell right here in the middle of town
And it’s going down

It’s the hellevator
And the only way is down
It’s why you never, ever mess around
With the hellevator ‘cause the only way is down

Listen children
I know it’s hard to take
But there’s a lot at stake
And these villains
Are deadly as long they stay hidden

I have no doubt (have no doubt)
We gotta flush ‘em out (flush ‘em out now?!!?!)
Yes, ‘cause our precious time is running out
A beacon of hope in the county of Door
Sinks lower and lower than ever before
To the negative six hundred sixty-sixth floor
Look around
‘Cause it’s going down

It’s the hellevator
And the only way is down
It’s why you never, ever, ever mess around
‘Cause the hellevator’s only way is down
The hellevator
And the only way is down

And the only way is down
Only way is down
If you wanna save this town
Then the only way is down

And the only way is down
