Skyscraper Lyrics by Angus Blaikie

Summertime Muse

2017

[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 1]
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 2]
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
[BREAKDOWN]
Well madness reigned and paradise drowned
When Babel's walls came crashing down
Now the echoes roar for a story told
That was hardly understood
And never any good
Credits
