High Rise Lyrics - The Hawklords

Flat block 

Of two dimensions 

Neon totem pole to the sky 

Keeping scores of people stacked up so high 

Above the ground 

But all they can hear is the sound 

Of the wind in the antennae 

It's a human zoo 

A suicide machine 

Childhood 

Of concrete cube shaped 

A flypaper stuck with human life 

Caged up rage 

Swarming all the time 

Tear out the telephones 

Rip up the pages of directories 

And wreck all these 

High speed lifts and elevators 

Be a sabotage rebel without a cause 

[Chorus: x2] 

High rise 

Living in a high rise 

High rise 

Living in a high rise 

High rise 

Living in a high rise 

High rise 

All stacked up in a high rise block 

Starfish 

Of human blood shape 

Tentacles of human gore 

Spread out on the pavement from the 99th floor 

Well somebody said that he jumped 

But we know he was pushed 

He was just like you might have been 

On the 99th floor of a suicide machine
