Empty Buildings Lyrics by MC Crae

Waterfalls

2018

[Verse 1]
Show up first day on the job
Start out small not yet the Don
To the boss - heart throb
Even if all you do is sob

Get it wrong in the first attempts
After a while it'll all make sense
Take strides from the baby steps/expect
To keep growing in the years ahead

Work hard/strengthen the muscles
Shouting matches bosses rebuttal
They’re looking out for you/you're befuddled
Try to leave and it's not so subtle

Eighteen/you’re ready to go
Get a call from a building down the road/You got a
New job leave your key at the door
Turn the lights off/sorry we're closed

[2 bar break]

New job coworkers you like
But new bosses will give you a strike
Heads up/future is bright
Running through the procession line

Meet the woman of your dreams/Watch
Things turn to steams/one and one become a team
Working double shifts balance the mix
Learn to love each other's tricks

Years count on the gold watch on the wrist
Almost time for the sale out-of-biz
Lock the door one last time
Door bangs then it's out of sight and out of mind

Spent a lifetime shaking hands
Demanding to know where everybody stands
Worked a career that was so fulfilling but
How will they remember your empty buildings?
