Track 3 of the EP Insert Coin · 2024
Elevator Chorus
“This one came from a very silent lift ride that begged to be a singalong. We pictured eight strangers breaking into harmony, and the arcade-style hook closes the record the way a high-score screen should.”

Lyrics
Monday morning, doors slide wide Eight strangers squeezed up side by side Somebody's holding a coffee cup Somebody's yawning, nobody's up Then I hum one little note Just a line from a happy quote Someone taps along on the rail Now the whole lift's on the trail Floor by floor, we're getting brighter Every ding makes the weight feel lighter Ding, ding, going up! Everybody sing along Ding, ding, fill your cup We're a chorus in a box, hey, we belong Strangers in the morning light Harmonies on floor number five Ding, ding, going up! Sing it loud, we're alive Lady in the yellow scarf Finds the alto, hits it hard Gentleman with the briefcase grin Drops a bass line, let him in Kid with a lunchbox hums the beat Tapping time with her tiny feet Button lights up, number nine Now the whole crowd's doing fine Floor by floor, we're getting brighter Every ding makes the weight feel lighter Ding, ding, going up! Everybody sing along Ding, ding, fill your cup We're a chorus in a box, hey, we belong Strangers in the morning light Harmonies on floor number five Ding, ding, going up! Sing it loud, we're alive Doors open wide on the seventh floor Nobody wants to leave, they want one more Clap, clap, clap, clap Hold the door, hold the door Clap, clap, clap, clap Just one more Now we're at the top, I tip my hat Who knew a lift could sound like that Someone waves as the doors slide through Said see you tomorrow, same song, same crew Ding, ding, going up! Everybody sing along Ding, ding, fill your cup We're a chorus in a box, hey, we belong Strangers in the morning light Harmonies on floor number five Ding, ding, going up! Sing it loud, we're alive Ding, ding, going up Ding, ding, we're alive Ding... see you at five
