Wrecking Ball

Over the sidewalk under the archway
 Through the door again
 Planting charges seed of destruction
 Time is caving in
 Here we are at mile zero
 This is St. John's Newfoundland
 But you can hear the strains of Nero
 Serenade the demolition man
 The sun is rising
 Bricks are falling
 Nothing stands too long to tall
 For the swing of the wrecking ball
 Petition's failed the coffin's nailed
 We protest, money talks
 What's here today will be gone today
 Holding hands won't stop the clock
 They'll be coming in the morning
 To tear a piece out of the sky
 Try and build another Babel
 Who can build the highest high
 The sun is rising
 Bricks are falling
 Nothing stands too long to tall
 For the swing of the...
 Dance macabre at the wrecking ball
 Steel toe shuffle through an empty hall
 Hard hat dancers take the floor
 Then the ceiling and the corridor
 The jackhammers beat out eight to the bar
 The last dance will be a slamdance
 Ring around the Dev hotel
 The crowd gathered 'round
 A plunger sinks a cheer goes up
 And it all falls down
 In a shower of brick and mortar
 Raining down in dirty sheets
 When the dust has come to settle
 There'll be one less shadow on the street
 The sun is rising
 Bricks are falling
 Nothing stands too long to tall
 For the swing of the wrecking ball
 hmmm the wrecking ball
