Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar, block, and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes?
You see they always used to be there
Even when this all was grass
And I sang and danced about a high-rise
And you were laughing at
My helmet hat,
Laughing at
My torch
Go ahead you can laugh all you want
I got my phil - osophy
and I trust it like the ground
that's why my phil - osophy
it keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I see that there is evil
and I know that there is good
and the in-betweens I never understood
won't you look at me, I'm crazy,
but I get the job done
yeah, I'm crazy, but I get the job done
and I say:
I pushed you 'cause I loved you guys
I didn't realize
you weren't having fun
and I dragged you up the stairs
and I told you to fly
you were flapping your arms
you started to cry, you were too high
no, too high
now you take this all for granted
you take the mortar, block, and glass
and you forget the speech and moved the stone
but it's really not that you can't see
the forest for the trees
you never been out in the woods alone
So you can laugh all you want to
ect.
HUGE piano solo.
