Come down, We'll fall floating and free at last Eyes dead Faces blurred behind concrete, steel and glass Watching our lives go by Right before our eyes Don't quite know why We're doing the highrise Doing the highrise Doing the highrise Yeah Thoughts collide Then die splintered inside your skull Like the sweetly-sick high Of a sugar-coated candy pill Maybe I'll drift away To a place where I can stay Meanwhile I am still doing the highrise Doing the highrise Doing the highrise Yeah One day, some day I'll get myself outta here And then maybe I'll find Peace of mind somewhere, leaving them far behind They're twisted and unkind Still don't know why I'm doing the highrise Doing the highrise Doing the highrise Yeah
