Skyscraper Hell of a Town Songtext
von Golden Earring

(G.Kooymans/B.Hay)

Can′t tell the top from the bottom
All your bad vibes I got 'm
I′m workin' like a dog
Just can't get ahead, no no
Well, all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin′ like a dog, but I just can′t get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I′m going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I′m going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell


My friends I double-cross ′m
Live and die forgotten
I'm sleeping like a log
Sweating in my bed y'all
And all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin′ like a dog, I just can′t get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I′m going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I′m going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I′m going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town

Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell
Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell of a town

I'm going up, I′m going down
Skyscraper hell of a town
