All the neighbors watch that concrete shadow grow
But what good is a sunset if the sun don’t show?
Tell me «slow down,» tell me «later,» don’t tell me «no»
The units are half-empty, but they prefer half-full
All our wisdom’s buried underneath
Tattered headline pieces under dusty seats
There’s no wonder waiting, there’s no mystery
We need more brick and mortar to put our minds at ease
Decoration posted up on every wall
Like photographs of paradise where timber sprawls
From the high-rise all that chaos tends to stall
Another crowded lonely night to break your fall
All our wisdom’s buried underneath
Tattered headline pieces under dusty seats
There’s no wonder waiting, there’s no mystery
We need more brick and mortar to put our minds at ease
All of our wisdom buried and distant
All our wisdom’s buried underneath
Tattered headline pieces under dusty seats
There’s no wonder waiting, there’s no mystery
We need more brick and mortar to put our minds at ease
