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

So they can\'t climb at all

I know why you tore it down that day

You thought, that if you got caught

We all go away

Like a spoiled little baby

Who can\'t come out and 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

So they can\'t climb at all

Well madness reigned

And paradise drowned

When babel\'s walls came on crashing down

Now the echoes roar

For the story lived

That was hardly understood

And never any good

So 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

So they can\'t climb at all
