Skyscraper

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Build me up

Build me up
