Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

Skyscraper

Why don’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

Why don’t you come on down and join the party?

Everybody from the hood is all here

We singin’ oldies and drinkin’ cold beer

So won’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

Seen you riding around in your Escalade

Made all your bones but you never paid any attention

To the other dimension

You got a solid gold grill and an Armani suit

Big bodyguard and a haughty attitude

But what goes up comes down sooner or later

Think twice before you reach the elevator

Why don’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

Why don’t you come on down and join the party?

Brothers and sisters, strangers and cousins

We playin’ volleyball and doin’ the dozens

So won’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

You feel safe and secure in your castle in the sky

You don’t have to be afraid of the average guy down below ya

Come on down and we’ll show ya

You can keep all your money cause the party is free

We could be friends if you want to be

Because a good life spent in an ivory tower

Don't mean a thing without some people power

So won’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

So won’t you come on down and join the party?

Everybody from the hood is all here

We singin’ oldies and drinkin’ cold beer

So won’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

Because a good life lived in an ivory tower

Don't mean a thing without some people power

But what goes up comes down sooner or later

Think twice before you reach the elevator

Come on down…skyscraper, skyscraper

Why don’t you come on down and join the party?

Brothers and sisters, strangers and cousins

We playin’ volleyball and doin’ the dozens

So won’t you come on down from your skyscraper?

From your skyscraper

From your skyscraper

From your skyscraper

Skyscraper
