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 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

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

Build me up
