The Lonely Skyscraper by Martin Grice Lyrics

Downwind from an obese man smoking a cigarette
I stare at the lonely skyscraper perpendicular from the bridge
Where my ex-girlfriend's father is the conductor of the trains
I wonder if he’s been passing on the electricity

My town has turned into something evil
Every corner is another reason to stay inside

There’s a development on the mountain
There’s a 7 eleven, a sushi place, a dentist’s office
Where there used to be firs
This singular skyscraper is born with the change
It will watch as an infant as the trees turn into apartment buildings

This town has turned into something evil
Every corner is another reason to stay inside

I, I, I, I, don’t want to be inside anymore
