Black steel skeleton penetrates the haze
|
You are foundation, firmly planted in dirt
|
They've broken their necks, now they're sleeping in graves
|
They've broken their necks, still they feel compelled
|
To look up, look out and return to ground
|
A sky scraper is ambition
|
And sweet victory is the sweetest poison
|
Under the brickwork lies a structure of hurt
|
And stress points scream bearing friction of steel on steel
|
They shoot up, shoot out, and return to ground
|
And the vision is concrete
|
And this city's become overgrown with weeds
|
And it doesn't matter how you play the game
|
It's what game you play
|
Pulling up weeds has been pulling on you
|
But your head is a cloud
|
Skyscraper ambitions aren't feeding on fools
|
They're feeding on you
|
