Visitors Lyrics – Monica’s Interval

[Verse 1]
The elevator’s stuck at seven
The visitors are trapped inside
Someone’s singing in G Minor
The visitors are terrified
Finally we got them both out
Shook their hands and said hello
Everyone was incognito
It really didn’t matter at all

[Chorus]
All in black and gray
Looking back over my shoulder
All in black and gray
I keep looking over and over

[Verse 2]
You whisper to me
The visitors are nervous or something
And I wonder
Just what you are wanting of me
She says she is a deep sea diver
And she has a lot of pearls
I wonder if her pearls are cultured
And encourage them to leave

[Chorus]
All in black and gray
Looking back over my shoulder
All in black and gray
I keep looking over and over
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
Looking back over my shoulder
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
I keep looking over and over

[Verse 3]
The elevator’s stuck at seven
The visitors are trapped again
I wonder if they’ll make it this time
I wonder if they ever did

[Chorus]
All in black and gray
Looking back over my shoulder
All in black and gray
I keep looking over and over
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
Looking back over my shoulder
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
I keep looking over and over
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
I keep looking over and over
All in black and gray (Black and gray)
