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, and 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 and play
You had your revenge

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

Well madness reigned
And paradise drowned
When babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar
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

(Build me up)
(Build me up)
