Old Buildings Lyrics by Bryce Kulak

Tin Can Telephone

2007

When they tear old buildings down
It’s funny, ‘cause you know they’re sold and going
But then they seem to stick around
And you wonder if they’ll ever really do it
Condo units up for sale
Fences up around the lot and building
Everyone has long moved out
And now the building’s simply waiting for it
[Chorus]
Maybe months go by
And maybe some minor excavation
But still the building’s there
Waiting for new tenants
You still hope they’ve changed their minds
Maybe the old building’s really staying
Maybe they won’t kill the vines
Growing up its sides, but signs are saying:
Condo units up for sale
Better views and better light and heating
Stucco will be pink and pale
Parking will be underground, but not free
[Chorus]
Maybe months go by
When you neglect to ride your bike up that street
Hoping it’s still there
Hoping for new tenants
[Instrumental]
Then one day the building’s gone
You had meant to take a lot of pictures
Of its yellow doors and vines
Climbing up the bricks and round the windows
Condo units up for sale
Only for professionals over thirty
Making eighty grand a year
Occupation’s set for this September
[Chorus]
Maybe as you think
And watch the bulldozers clear the rubble
You manage to sneak a brick
And wonder about these future tenants
While cradling the old building’s remnants
