Lyrics
[Intro]
Elevator goin' up
[Verse 1]
In the gleaming corridor of the fifty-first floor
The money can be made, if you really want some more
Executive decision, a clinical precision
Jumping from the windows, filled with indecision
[Chorus]
I get good advice from the advertising world
Treat me nice, party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze
[Verse 2]
It's the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power
When top men need a top up long before the happy hour
Your snakeskin suit and your alligator boot
You don't need a launderette, you can take 'em to the vet
[Chorus]
I get my advice from the advertising world
"Treat me nice", says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze
[Bridge]
Koka Kola advertising and cocaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper, they're crazy
[Bridge]
Yeah, suit your life, maybe so
In the White House, I know
All over Berlin, they do it for years
And in Manhattan
[Verse 3]
Coming through the door is a Snub Nose .44
The barrel can't snort, it can spatter on the floor
Your eyeballs feel like pinballs, and your tongue feels like a fish
You're leapin' from the windows sayin', "Don't get me none of this!"
[Chorus]
Koke adds life, advertising world
"Treat me nice", says the party girl
Koke adds life where there isn't any
So freeze, man, freeze
[Outro]
Hit the deck
