High Rise Lyrics

High Rise lyrics

The floor 'round his body slowly started to crack

He was screamin' but no
one could do nothin' but step back

He plunged below until the level
beneath

Broke five ribs both hands and blew out his teeth

But the
level below is where they all want his position

They all look the other
way and continue with bull shittin'

The floor's crackin' again he screams
help someone

And then smashed down right through it like something
engulfed him



There once was a man of power who lived on top of his
high rise (his high rise)

Bloody red were his eyes, they say wealthiest in
town (in town)

First his chair crushed beneath him, even with the help of
his top guys (top guys)

They couldn't lift him up that day somethin' was
pullin' him down (down)



The floor 'round his body slowly started
to crack

He was screamin' but no one could do nothin' but step back

He plunged below until the level beneath

Broke five ribs both hands and
blew out his teeth

But the level below is where they all want his
position

They all look the other way and continue with bull shittin'

The floor's crackin' again he screams help someone

And then smashed
down right through it like something engulfed him



His beat up and
broken body blasting its way down the high rise (high rise)

Leaving a
hole on every level, which others gather around (around)

He's screaming
as he's falling don't let them take me from my life (my life)

Dropping
tier by tier something was pulling him down



Ahhh

Crashing
down through every level all the people turn and look away

Somebody help
me, help me

Somebody help me, help me

Crashing down through every
level all the people turn and look away

Somebody help me, help me

Somebody help me, help me



He was old and weak and frail (frail
frail), he casted hell from his high rise (his high rise)

Some say his
building was so tall so on the world he looked down (down)

I bet now he
wishes it wasn't built from the ground up a mile (o o o)

Every level
brings him closer down to whatever's in the ground (whatever's in the
ground)



The floor 'round his body slowly started to crack

He
was screamin' but no one could do nothin' but step back

He plunged below
until the level beneath

Broke five ribs both hands and blew out his
teeth

But the level below is where they all want his position

They
all look the other way and continue with bull shittin'

The floor's
crackin' again he screams help someone

And then smashed down right
through it like something engulfed him

Nobody really seemed to care much
on any level

Watchin' him fall and guessin' that he'll meet the devil

His head hit a rock maybe a pipe I don't know and know

But he was dead
and now he's still got eight floors to go

He landed in a kitchen on a
tray of steak blades

Even though he was dead his hair went flippin' off
the maze

What was left of his body smashed through all the floors

A
mangled ball of meat rolled out the front doors
