[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 creatures 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] [Verse 3] 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 ok [Outro] We're all pushing up the tin can mountain top [x5]
