High Rise
Stephen Gordon McBean
Thrusting cement into heaven
Penetrating the clouds
Staring us down
Thinking you're all that the world spins around
The loneliest cock in the sky
Surveillance eye
Hovers and drones
Standing alone while the planes flutter low
High rise
Steel and concrete so phallic and chic
Antenna to ground
Towering all
The loneliest cock in the sky
Space age design
Conquer the future
Control center
Electrical brain
Dementia reigns
High rise
Into heaven
The loneliest cock in the sky
Space age design
Suffocate city
Into heaven
