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
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
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
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
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
