[Verse 1]
My mother was a blind architect, her mother was too
Designing huge walls no man could ever get through, mm
Born with a brick heart and mortar tongue, they made due
Now the only thing I know is to build those same walls too
[Chorus]
Don’t you build it too tall
It may never fall
The air’s getting thin
You’re still human, fragile woman
[Verse 2]
My mother taught me the way to operate a crane
Carrying heavy loads with a smile through pouring rain
These walls I’d perfected left me unprotected
From that emptiness inside
No asking why
Just get out while there’s still time
[Chorus]
Don’t you build it too tall
It may never fall
The air’s getting thin
You’re still human, fragile woman
[Bridge]
Armed for destruction
Don’t you hurt yourself, girl
No, no, no, no, yeah
Do-do-do-do
Ayy, woo
Ayy, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, woo, woohoo
Woah
[Chorus]
Don’t you build it too tall
(Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you build it)
It may never fall (Oh woah)
The air’s getting thin, thin, thin, thin, thin
You’re still human, fragile woman
