Sick building syndrome Lyrics

Used to have a little farm on this very spot

Walls of glass and concrete took its place

It all seems so long ago the details I forgot

Lost a battle in the fight for space

The skyline of the city emerged like a submarine

From day to day I watched the buildings grow

Soon they came the fancy clerks in their limousines

The shed, the house, the past, it had to go

Scaling up was the magic word

Villages swallowed up by cities

Building on the inside world

Tearing down the outside world

They offered me a job inside this air-conditioned world

This no-man's land between the dusk and dawn

The pictures in the corridor remind of yesteryear

They're in black and white, but colourful to me

No more steaming horses in the frosty morning sun

Relics of this past are kept in shrine

Difficult to tell though when it all really began

Like a sniper been there all the time

Used to have a little farm on this very spot

Walls of glass and concrete took its place

It all seems so long ago the details I forgot

Lost a battle in the fight for space
