Unsafe Building by The Alarm Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Declare yourself an unsafe building
Suffer the indignation of your world
To climb the ladders, you've gotta suss out the snakes
Remember your height, remember to never look down
[Refrain]
'Cause now you've made your choice
You've gotta take your chance
Find a way out now
[?][0:51] unsafe
[Verse 2]
Come out of the cupboard and into the real world
Open the window and let some light into your life
It's dark in the tunnel, but keep on coming through
Straight down the line and sure enough, you'll see the lights that shine
[Refrain]
'Cause now you're young
You've got to run
You've got to take the chance
Get out, you can
[Chorus]
I, I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemned
I'm unsafe
[Verse 3]
Behind the wardrobe, there lies a better life
Burn all your old clothes
Start again, make yourself something new
And the bed you make, oh, you think I'd sleep in it
Throw back the covers, [?][2:19] your dreams come true
Rebuild your life
Rebuild your home
Rethink your values
Rethink yourself right through
[Chorus]
I, I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemned
I'm unsafe
[Verse 4]
[?][3:14] the bridges burning
Tight to the hills
Your timing will soon come
You caught your hand in the crevice
But you [?][3:26]
Whatever you miss
You have got to decide
[Refrain]
'Cause now you're young
You got to run
Don't waste your life
Don't waste your life
[Chorus]
I, I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemned because
Declare yourself an unsafe building
Declare yourself an unsafe building
Suffer the indignation of your world
To climb the ladders, you've gotta suss out the snakes
Remember your height, remember to never look down
[Refrain]
'Cause now you've made your choice
You've gotta take your chance
Find a way out now
[?][0:51] unsafe
[Verse 2]
Come out of the cupboard and into the real world
Open the window and let some light into your life
It's dark in the tunnel, but keep on coming through
Straight down the line and sure enough, you'll see the lights that shine
[Refrain]
'Cause now you're young
You've got to run
You've got to take the chance
Get out, you can
[Chorus]
I, I have declared myself unsafe
I have declared myself unsafe
Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemned
I'm unsafe

Unsound, unknown, unwanted, unnecessary
I've been condemned because
Declare yourself an unsafe building
