Lyrics & Translation
English
All this trouble in this here town
All this shit going down
When will they focus, on this?
Streets ride up with the TV crews
Look ma, we on the news
But they didn't notice, before this
They float above the city lights
Forget the truth, inhale the lies
Just enjoy the show
They see us reaching for the sky
Just ignore that you survive
Maybe we should go
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Let's ride the elevator, they can't keep us out no more
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Penthouse floor
All that bubbly, all that wine
Oh man, look at the times
Didn't they notice, notice?
Only future I can see, ain't what it used to be
And I didn't know this, I didn't know this
Once you're above the city lights
Won't want to spend another night, down there on your own
The whole world on display for us
The altitude is dangerous, but we ain't going home
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for
Can't keep us out no more (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Penthouse floor
I heard this old joke once, it was like, uh
Knock knock, who there, it's us, us who?
Just us, who dis? Just playin'
Just me, new phone, new hair, new era
I'm in the penthouse, baby
Handpicked from bad apples and bad eggs
Held back, I had to grab crab legs
And then there were only but a few
Conversations held with patience, what a party, what a view
What a dress, what a song
What a beautiful time
My folks downstairs still waitin' in line
They never been in these rooms
Never stayed with these folks
Never laughed at the news, never hated these jokes
So as I fly in my suit, in a group, undercover
Forcin' a new smile, he tells me another
He said "What happened to the boy that climbed up the trunk?"
Then he pushed me off the top and said "Jump, nigga, jump!"
Oh don't bring me down I need a room up in the clouds
I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate
Oh my favorite mix, a little ignorance and bliss
In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Go to the penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Let's ride the elevator, it's what we've been waiting for
We'll tear down those penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Those penthouse doors
We'll tear down the penthouse doors (let's go, let's go, let's go)
Baby, I'm in the penthouse floor
Baby, let's ride the elevator
'Til we can rise some more
Go to the penthouse floor, penthouse floor (let's go, let's go, let's go)

Penthouse Floor (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Toda esta angustia en este pueblo
Toda esta mierda pasando
¿Cuándo se enfocarán, en esto?
Las calles se llenan de equipos de TV
Mira, mamá, salimos en las noticias
Pero no se dieron cuenta, antes de esto
Flotan sobre las luces de la ciudad
Olvidan la verdad, inhalan las mentiras
Solo disfruten el espectáculo
Nos ven alcanzando el cielo
Solo ignora que sobrevives
Quizás deberíamos irnos
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Subamos al ascensor, ya no pueden dejarnos fuera
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Piso del ático
Todo ese champán, todo ese vino
Oh, hombre, mira los tiempos
¿No se dieron cuenta, cuenta?
El único futuro que veo, no es lo que solía ser
Y yo no sabía esto, yo no sabía esto
Una vez que estás sobre las luces de la ciudad
No querrás pasar otra noche, ahí abajo solo
El mundo entero en exhibición para nosotros
La altitud es peligrosa, pero no vamos a casa
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Subamos al ascensor, es lo que hemos estado esperando
Ya no pueden dejarnos fuera (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Piso del ático
Escuché este viejo chiste una vez, era como, uh
Toc toc, ¿quién es?, somos nosotros, ¿nosotros quién?
Solo nosotros, ¿quién habla? Solo bromeando
Solo yo, teléfono nuevo, pelo nuevo, nueva era
Estoy en el ático, cariño
Escogido a mano de manzanas podridas y huevos malos
Retenido, tuve que agarrar patas de cangrejo
Y luego solo quedaban unos pocos
Conversaciones con paciencia, ¡qué fiesta, qué vista!
¡Qué vestido, qué canción!
¡Qué momento tan hermoso!
Mi gente de abajo sigue esperando en la fila
Nunca han estado en estas habitaciones
Nunca se quedaron con esta gente
Nunca se rieron de las noticias, nunca odiaron estos chistes
Así que mientras vuelo en mi traje, en grupo, encubierto
Forzando una nueva sonrisa, él me cuenta otro
Él dijo "¿Qué le pasó al chico que subió por el tronco?"
Luego me empujó desde arriba y dijo "¡Salta, negro, salta!"
Oh, no me deprimas, necesito una habitación en las nubes
Quiero llegar allí, cariño, quiero elevarme
Oh, mi mezcla favorita, un poco de ignorancia y dicha
En el ático, cariño, ve al ático
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Vayamos al piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Subamos al ascensor, es lo que hemos estado esperando
Derribaremos esas puertas del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Esas puertas del ático
Derribaremos las puertas del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
Cariño, estoy en el piso del ático
Cariño, subamos al ascensor
Hasta que podamos elevarnos más
Vayamos al piso del ático, piso del ático (vamos, vamos, vamos)
