| Song | Building Skyscrapers in the Basement |
| Artist | Ted Leo and the Pharmacists |
| Album | Hearts of Oak |
| 作曲 : Leo | |
| Is there a place to go | |
| Where a little girl might never have to know? | |
| And is there a time of night | |
| When she'll ever feel it's safe to dim the light? | |
| I know some things I'd rather not | |
| Like the time ahead is all the time you've got | |
| And one other thing I know | |
| Out from under layer after dark layer, as the years go by, a little girl can grow |
