lyrics

Close your eyes it's almost here
Evening dress and hairnet side by side and gripped with fear
Huddled in the pantry S.O.S.
Just survive for 3 to 5 then we’ll rise to clean the mess

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

The sun begins to weep
Back up to the penthouse of this glass and steel keep
Clouds dismissed as formless and benign
No one knows the threat that grows
Ignored the warning signs
Winds begin to force the tower's sway
Greater heights mean greater motion
Built to last, or so they say
Counterweight, a damper in the sky
Pendulum, a hundred tons, a hundred stories high

A marriage of force and sound
A wedding to remember
A quarter mile off the ground
Tree de-barked, trains overturned
The minister is missing
The wedding vows are torn and burned
Shattered glass, a roaring wave of light
Pushed about and forcing out
The guests from such a height
Steel designed to bend, not break
How much pressure can it take?
Architecture falling down
Nature devastates this town

Stabilizer disengaged, exits from the chamber
Floor by floor and stage by stage
Crushing hope and plans and steel
Wedding rain is bad luck
Only Mother makes you kneel

Ah hahahaha
