The Tower That Ate People (Radio Edit By Steve Osborne) - Peter Gabriel

There's a bump in the basement

There's a knocking on the wall

In the pumping of the pistons

I swear I heard you call

There's a bump in the basement

There's a hole in the floor

There's a guard in the garden

Locking up the door

There's a rumble in the floorboards

No shutting out the sound

And the workers down below me

Digging underground

Feel the building all around me

Like a wrap of armoured skin

But the more we are protected

The more we're trapped within

We're building up and up.

We're building up and up.

We're building up and up.

We're building up and up.till we can touch the sky.

Tell it like it is

Till there's no misunderstanding

When you strip it right back

Man feed machine

Machine feed man

Tell it like it is (And on this land, we cast our fortune)

Till there's no misunderstanding (And on this ground, we make our home)

You make up what you like

Man feed machine

Machine feed man

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building

Brick by brick by brick by brick we're building
