SKYSCRAPERS

say that you’re a simple man

sit down and sip a heineken

off the plane you got the keys

start working for that company

that hooks you up and pays the rent

some equinox apartment

there’s a cold plunge and a swimming pool

no one’s in the karaoke room

Mm

iiiin another life

i’m with you on the iiiiiiinside

til the glass turns into a knife

gonna scrape me up to the sky

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just smile

to the top, uh, getting it right

i could be cut out for that life

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just

the restaurant is italian

your father knows the president

well you’re gonna love the northwest

in the winter we’ll go skiing

say you don’t want to break a leg

my mother she was just like him

When she pushed me off the piano bench, yea

heeeere we go again

the same but we’re so diiiiiifferent

Til the glass turns into a knife

gonna scrape me up to the sky

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just smile

to the top, uh, getting it right

i could be cut out for that life

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just

“So you guys, like, get free bananas or something?

Hahahahaha that sounds really fun”

paid on a salary

wave from the balcony

all my relatives would be so proud of me

my reflections counting on them

that strange anxiety

won’t go quietly

i’d be happy in alternate reality

don’t lie lie lie lie lie to me

Til the glass turns into a knife

gonna scrape me up to the sky

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just, smile

if i’m built for a simpler time

Am i ok on the opposite side

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just smile

when you look at me i just, smile

(getting it right)

when you look at me i just, smile

(am i getting it right)

when you look at me i just, smile

(maybe i’m cut out for this life)

when you look at me i just, smile
