Lyrics:
give me help
give me help
you can... levitate me

then take off them rings
off them hose
levitate me

higher place
levitate me

elevator lady
elevator lady
elevator lady
lady levitate me

if all in all is true
if all is true
won't you please fawn over me

shaky shake...shaky
levitate me

come on pilgrim
you know he loves you
levitate me

higher place
levitate me

he kicked a baby
elevator lady
elevator lady
elevator lady
lady
elevator lady
lady lady levitate me

if all in all is true
if all in all is true
if all in all is true
if all is true
won't you please run over me
won't you please run over me
won't you please run over me
me, me, me, me, ...


Quotes:
"I remember listening to 'Levitate Me' while Charles came up with all the lyrics and people making suggestions about it. He was just out in that great big space with some stereo mics around to try to pick up the sound of the room, and him just going into 'Levitate Me' like he'd always known the song. [...] I remember seeing the needles and seeing the red record light on and seeing the other band members standing around me and feeling like I was at the signing of the Declaration of Independence or something."
- Gary Smith, "Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies" (US Edition, Pg. 65)

"On 'Levitate Me,' the chrous at the end whereis 'like, yelling - Charles was asleep, and they did their recording in seventy-two hours of rolling time, freezing cold, so while some people were sleeping they were still working. Somebody came up with the idea and Dave and Kim were the ones doing the vocals to that while Charles was sleeping, and then when he woke up they played it for him and he was like, 'Oh, that's cool, let's keep it.' Charles gave credit to everybody in the world who wrote that song, too. His girlfriend Jean came up with a couple of words, he threw her in as a songwriter credit."
- John Murphy, "Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies" (US Edition, Pg. 65)
