Lyrics

It’s out with the old
Structurally unsound
To beacons of hope
From holes in the ground
Your vacant desires
Filled in by the crew
Who do all the things
A king shouldn’t do
Think of all the cars that it will bring
And with it all the businessings
‘Cause you’ve got the cash
And you’ve got the dream
That falls in the scope
Of city zoning
So lock all the doors
It’s finally time
To polish the windows
And put up the sign
Like cherry blossoms in the spring
There is no sign more promising
Than building for lease
For lease forever
Yeah there’s not a sign
Of life whatsoever
Virginal as the purest uncut blow
So hollow
Kept you empty for years
But an offer has come
From a multinational corporation
They may use you for bad
They may use you for good
What do I care
It’s not my neighbourhood
Think of all the cars that it will bring
And all the homeless people sing
This building’s for lease
For lease forever
And there’s not a sign
Of life whatsoever
Virginal as the purest uncut blow
So hollow
