1
He was a husband who drove his wife home drunk from the parties
2
He was a husband who drove his wife home
3
And in the car he would gently lean her head on the side door window
4
And in the bathroom he would hold her hair back and hope, saying;
5
They build buildings oh they build buildings oh they build buildings
6
So tall these days
7
And in the morning she'd wake up and crouch recollections all day
8
But she would always always wake up the next morning
9
And he'd take one look at her a say baby that's ok
10
And her conscience would issue yet another last warning, saying;
11
They build buildings oh they build buildings
12
Oh they build buildings
13
So tall these days
14
And she would ask for time
15
And she'd ask for time
16
And she would ask for time
17
And she would beg for time,
18
And she would beg for time
19
And beg for time and call it a gift
20
And he would give her time
21
And he'd give her time
22
And he would give her time
23
And he'd give her time
24
But time is not given and time is not taken
25
It just sifts through it's sift
26
And it was coffee and coffee and coffee
27
And coffee and coffee and coffee some more
28
He'd go to work and she'd take a sick day and rot at the core
29
And by the time he came back
30
She'd scrub the bathroom and make it smell like pine
31
It would be almost as if nothing had happened
32
And he'd give her time, saying;
33
They build buildings, oh they build buildings, oh they build buildings,
34
Oh don't they build buildings, oh they build buildings,
35
They build buildings so tall these days
36
And she would ask for time
37
And she'd ask for time
38
And she would ask for time
39
And she would beg for time,
40
And she would beg for time
41
And beg for time and call it a gift
42
And he would give her time
43
And he'd give her time
44
And he would give her time
45
And he'd give her time-
46
But time is not given and time is not taken
47
It just sifts through it's sift
48
He was a husband drove time home pine scrub bathroom window
49
Don't they build buildings so tall these days...
