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 |
|
So they can't climb at all |
|
I know why you tore it down that day |
|
You thought, that if you got caught |
|
we all go away |
|
Like a spoiled little baby |
|
who can't come out and 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 |
|
So they can't climb at all |
|
Well madness reigned |
|
and paradise drowned |
|
when Babel's walls came on crashing down |
|
Now the echoes roar |
|
for the story lived |
|
that was hardly understood |
|
and never any good |
|
So 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 |
|
So they can't climb at all |
