about

Imagined from the perspective of the people who jumped out of the World Trade Centre on 9/11. It was a day like any other, until it wasn’t.
Wicked brass arrangement! This is the single.

lyrics

Tall buildings


The wind whistles through, all the cracks and the tubes
And the phone lines and cubes and the structures
I noticed you, through the crowds and the timetables,
Turnstiles and queues and the meetings

All here, only for the moment, All here only for the instant

And the rise and the fall, the footsteps down the hall
And the wires in the walls
Tall Buildings
And the beating and the whining, and the cogs forever grinding
The signs of the blinding
Tall Buildings
Tall Buildings

On a wing and a prayer, and a godspeed you there
And the tip and the flames and the flashin’
I know this is cruel but it’s not worse than the usual
It’s not worse than the typical

All here, only for the moment, All here only for an instant

All alone in thin air, sheer belief holds you there
Far beyond hope and care, Tall Buildings
In the freeze of the frame, where a voice speaks your name
Oh the noise in your veins!
Tall Buildings
Tall Buildings

Are you there? Are you anywhere?
