Buildings  in clouds here
 Our time  and our place dear
 There's  life in us yet  love
 These walls  we will climb above
 We really  our ants now
 Escape  the nest somehow
 I ache  for a feeling
 You came  and you poured  it in,
  repeat intro
 it in.
Buildings  in clouds here
 Our time  and our place dear
 There's  life in us yet  love
 These walls  we will climb  above,
  repet intro
 above.
 Look up
 Through the trees  to feel as small  as you can,
 You hear  the clocks counting down,
 The nights are longer  now than ever  before,
   repeat intro
 But now you see the lights from the town.
 I am drained  and I am empty
 I've still  got love in me
 There's eyes  in the sky tonight
Watching  us lose the  fight
 We really  are ants now
 Escape  the nest somehow
 I ache  for a feeling
 You came  and you poured it in,
  repeat intro
 it in.
 Look up
 Through the trees  to feel as small  as you can,
 You hear  the clocks counting down,
 The nights are longer  now than ever  before,
   repeat intro (x2)
 But now you see the lights from the town.
 Look up
 Through the trees  to feel as small  as you can,
 You hear  the clocks  counting down,
 The nights are longer  now than ever  before,
   repeat intro (x4)
 But now you see the lights of the town.
