Backbone of the world pushed it to the sea
Cold sea pushed back, hard coppered sleeve
Up it sprawled a glass and steel army
To split the sky, take the sun's glory
Tear the clouds, stab the stars
Reflect its own authority
Challenge the land to a contest of beauty
It's not its fault if failed
Challenge the land to a contest of beauty
It's not its fault if failed
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
It's a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
Get back to the ground
A red fog came 'round like mercy
Forgave all the sad incitements
Even your own slits look like treasure
Winking, taking the block's measure
Under asphalt, hard cobblestone growth
Rusted streetcar tracks died
They blinked through the cracks, thought about time
Why they'd been left behind
They blinked through the cracks, thought about time
Why they'd been left behind
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
It's a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
Get back to the ground
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
It's a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
Get back to the ground
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
It's a long way down
Wax wings and towers come to the same thing
Get back to the ground, get back to the ground
