                                    Stomping along  on this big Phillip Johnson  Is delay just wasting my time  Looking across  at Richard Rogers  Scheming dreams to blow both their minds  It's difficult you see  To give up baby  To leave a job  When you know  You know the money's from day to day   All the majesty of a city landscape  All the soaring days in our lives  All the concrete dreams  in my mind's eye  All the joy I see  Thru these architect's eyes    Cold winter bleeds  on the girders of Babel  This stone boy watching the crawling land  Rings of flesh and the towers of iron  The steaming caves and the rocks and the sand  Stomping along on this big Phillip Johnson  Is delay just wasting my time  It's difficult you see  To give up baby  These summer scumholes  This goddamned starving life   It's difficult you see  It's difficult you see |
