(We’re living in the golden, in the golden age) (We’re living in the golden age, the golden age)
Stomping along On this big Philip Johnson Is delay just wasting my time Looking across at Richard Rogers Scheming dreams to blow both their minds It’s difficult you see To give up baby To leave a job When you know You know the money’s from day to day
All the majesty of a city landscape All the soaring days in our lives All the concrete dreams In my mind’s eye All the joy I see Through these architect’s eyes
(We’re living in the golden, in the golden age) (We’re living in the golden age, the golden age)
Cold winter bleeds On the girders of Babel This stone boy watching the crawling land Rings of flesh and the towers of iron The steaming caves and the rocks and the sand Stomping along on this big Philip Johnson Is delay just wasting my time It’s difficult you see To give up baby These summer scum holes This goddamned starving life
All the majesty of a city landscape All the soaring days in our lives All the concrete dreams In my mind’s eye All the joy I see Through these architect’s eyes
(We’re living in the golden, in the golden age) (We’re living in the golden age, the golden age)
It’s difficult you see It’s difficult you see
All the majesty of a city landscape All the soaring days in our lives All the concrete dreams In my mind’s eye All the joy I see Through these architect’s eyes
