Skyscraper Lyrics

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 it tore 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, then paradise drowned
Well, 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, and tear down these joining walls
So they can't climb at all
