[Verse 1]
These toys are all lifeless, the armor's worn off
The shadow of a shadow is the ghost of a bomb
Skyscraper standing in a desert alone
A helicopter searchlight is searching for no one

[Chorus]
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top
The smokestack clouds with glory attached
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top
The smokestack clouds with glory attached

[Verse 2]
The sky dancers dance in a parking lot wind
That blows from a tundra where the jungle begins
If there's hope in a roadblock, guns in a church
The lord will take his motorcade and drive us into the dirt

[Chorus]
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top
The smokestack clouds with glory attached
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top
The smokestack clouds with glory attached

[Bridge]
There's a skyscraper on the moon
And a man standing on a window
Forty-second floor
There's a light beaming through the galaxy
Telling me everything's gonna be okay
[Outro]
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh
We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
