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 ["for a story told" is the live version]
|
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 [x2]
