Flat block
|
Of two dimensions
|
Neon totem pole to the sky
|
Keeping scores of people stacked up so high
|
Above the ground
|
But all they can hear is the sound
|
Of the wind in the antennae
|
It's a human zoo
|
A suicide machine
|
|
Childhood
|
Of concrete cube shaped
|
A flypaper stuck with human life
|
Caged up rage
|
Swarming all the time
|
Tear out the telephones
|
Rip up the pages of directories
|
And wreck all these
|
High speed lifts and elevators
|
Be a sabotage rebel without a cause
|
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
All stacked up in a high rise block
|
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
All stacked up in a high rise block
|
|
Starfish
|
Of human blood shape
|
Tentacles of human gore
|
Spread out on the pavement from the 99th floor
|
Well somebody said that he jumped
|
But we know he was pushed
|
He was just like you might have been
|
On the 99th floor of a suicide machine
|
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
Living in a high rise
|
High rise
|
All stacked up in a high rise block
