Anyone ever notice that Skyscrapers look like gravestones or is that just me?

lyrics

Metal fists reach towards the sky
wondering why
the water is rising

Sit down the story
of a place I once knew.
The people there never looked up.
They never spoke.

Chorus
I guess that's why they called it Babel.
It was beautiful it was sad.
A spectacle that all went bad.
I see little tombstones on my way on my way on my way to work
Everyday everyday

Big dreams baby I know
Mama's silver spoon in your pocket for the long road

Young boy walking on a tightrope
got no safety net sink or swim
in the den of the lions

Chorus

Hands up to the sky
Mom are you proud?
Dad are you proud yet?
Look to the sky
See another fool looking straight up
But you don't speak the same language

Chorus
