Song | The Tower That Ate People |
Artist | Peter Gabriel |
Album | Back to Front Live in Prague |
There's a bump in the basement | |
There's a knocking on the wall | |
In the pumping of the pistons | |
I swear I heard you call | |
There's a bump in the basement | |
There's a hole in the floor | |
There's a guard in the garden | |
Locking up the door | |
There's a rumble in the floorboards | |
No shutting out the sound | |
And the workers down below me | |
Digging underground | |
Feel the building all around me | |
Like a wrap of armoured skin | |
But the more we are protected | |
The more we're trapped within | |
We’re building up and up. | |
We’re building up and up. | |
We’re building up and up. | |
We’re building up and up.till we can touch the sky. | |
Tell it like it is | |
Till there's no misunderstanding | |
When you strip it right back | |
Man feed machine | |
Machine feed man | |
Tell it like it is (And on this land, we cast our fortune) | |
Till there's no misunderstanding (And on this ground, we make our home) | |
You make up what you like | |
Man feed machine | |
Machine feed man | |
… | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building | |
Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building |
There' s a bump in the basement | |
There' s a knocking on the wall | |
In the pumping of the pistons | |
I swear I heard you call | |
There' s a bump in the basement | |
There' s a hole in the floor | |
There' s a guard in the garden | |
Locking up the door | |
There' s a rumble in the floorboards | |
No shutting out the sound | |
And the workers down below me | |
Digging underground | |
Feel the building all around me | |
Like a wrap of armoured skin | |
But the more we are protected | |
The more we' re trapped within | |
We' re building up and up. | |
We' re building up and up. | |
We' re building up and up. | |
We' re building up and up. till we can touch the sky. | |
Tell it like it is | |
Till there' s no misunderstanding | |
When you strip it right back | |
Man feed machine | |
Machine feed man | |
Tell it like it is And on this land, we cast our fortune | |
Till there' s no misunderstanding And on this ground, we make our home | |
You make up what you like | |
Man feed machine | |
