D.C. Cooper - Townrazer

Babels of blocks tow ring up to the sky
Rivers of people below
Poisonous smoke clouds
That rise slow and high
Street lamps and neon lights that glow
Can't you see it's coming.
Coming in the air around?
Can't you see it's rising,
Rising anger from the ground?

Torpor and frenzy, despair and decay
Ringin' and scramblin' insane
Rabbles exotic that stranger gods pray
Fetors that stifle the brain
Can't you see it's falling.
The fire fallen' from the sky?
Can't you hear it calling, callin' out our names to die?
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer!

Belfries that blackly against the moon totter
Caverns whose mouths are by mosses effaced
Livin' to answer the wind and the water
Only the lean cats that wonder an' howl in the waste!

Black rusting bridges 'cross an oily sea
Cobwebs of cables that run
Motors that rumble, disease spreadin' free
Rubbish that rot in the sun
Can't you see it's falling, fire fallin' from the sky?
Can't you hear it calling, callin' our names to die?
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer, Townrazer, Townrazer
Townrazer!
