[Verse 1]
My mother was a blind architect, her mother was too
Designing huge walls no man could ever get through, mmh
Born with a brick heart and mortar tongue, they made do
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 (Ooh, crane)
Carrying heavy loads with a smile through pouring rain
These walls I'd perfected left me unprotected
From that emptiness inside, now
No asking why, just get out while there's still time, baby

[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-do, do-do
Ayy, woo
Oh, 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
The air's getting thin, thin, thin, thin
You're still human, fragile woman
