CN Tower 1976 Lyrics

CN Tower 1976

The rain is coming down on this dark Ontario day

And in Toronto the lightning strikes the CN Tower

Then heads out into the lake

I saw the tower going up when I was six years old, seemed like a cool thing to build

Now the city is stuck in the seventies even though Maple Leaf Gardens was filled

You can see it from the distant ridges and sometimes from across the lake

A permanently retro corduroy beacon, the tallest lighthouse we could make

It's our Eiffel tower, it's our disco ball

It's our Mt.Rushmore, it's our Taj Mahal

It's a perfect postcard, is it on a ley line

It's a laser beam of love

From Toronto to the world, so it's a little bit cooler

From Ontario out to the world, so it's a little bit cooler
