Stomping along on this big Philips Johnson His 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 the money's 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 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 Philips Johnson His delay just wasting my time 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 architect's eyes It's difficult, you see It's difficult, you see 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
