Skyscraper |
| Come let us make bricks and burn them hard |
| We’ll build a city with a tower for the world |
| And climb so we can reach anything we may propose |
| Anything at all |
| Build me up, tear me down |
| Like a skyscraper |
| Build me up, then tear down |
| These joining walls |
| So they can’t climb at all |
| I know why you tore it down that day |
| You thought, that if you got caught, we’d all go away |
| Like a spoiled little baby who can’t come out to play |
| You had your revenge |
| Build me up, tear me down |
| Like a skyscraper |
| Build me up, then tear down |
| These joining walls |
| So they can’t climb at all |
| Well madness reigned and paradise drowned |
| When Babel’s walls came crashing down |
| Now the echoes roar for a story writ |
| That was hardly understood |
| And never any good |
| Build me up, tear me down |
| Like a skyscraper |
| Build me up, then tear down |
| These joining walls |
| So they can’t climb at all |
| Build me up |
| Build me up |
