Hawkwind - High Rise lyrics

[Hawkwind - High Rise lyrics]

Flat block of two dimensions
Neon tote board to the sky
Keeping scores of people stacked up so high
Above the ground
That 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 hornet hive
Tear out the telephones
Rip out the pages of directories
And wreck all these
High speed lifts and elevators
Be a sabotage rebel without applause
High rise living in a high rise
High rise living in a high rise
High rise living in a high rise
High rise
You're all stacked up in a high rise block

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
The tentacles of human gore
Spread out on the pavement
From the 99th floor
Well, somebody said he jumped
But we know he was pushed
And he was just like you might have been
On the 99th floor of a suicide machine

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

High rise living in a high rise
High rise living in a high rise
High rise
All stacked up in a high rise block

High rise living in a high rise
High rise living in a high rise
High rise
All stacked up in a high rise block
