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
I'm stomping along on this big Phillip Johnson
Is delay just wasting my time

It's difficult you see
To give up baby
To leave a job
When you know the monies from day to day

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 architects eyes

This winter bleeds on the
girders of Babel
This stone boy watching the
crawling land
The rings of flesh and the
towers of iron
The steaming caves and
rocks and sand

It's difficult you see
To give up baby
These summer scumholes
This goddamned starving life

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 architects eyes

It's difficult you see
To give up baby
This blueprint of life
When babies are born in automobiles

All the majesty of a city landscape
All the soaring days in our lives

All the concrete dreams in my
minds eye
All the joy I see thru
these architects eyes

All the plagues in the
city landscape
All the lady wants when her
baby cries
All the swimming to breathe
thru a lifetime
All this hope in front of
these architects eyes
