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



[CHORUS]

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



[CHORUS]



It's difficult you see

It's difficult you see
