lyrics

They built me up like a stack of cups
Brick by brick
With a box that goes up and down
In case you need a lift
They filled me up at infancy
No time to be confused
Thought hard at work I must admit
I like being used

I heard it told when thing are old
“Just tear the whole thing down”
But there I was and here I am
A building downtown

As time goes by business moves on
The visits less and less
I’ve heard they’ve made another one
And I start to feel a mess
I new it was bad when people left
And found a new place
I never thought they’d nail these boards
Across my face

When things are new and shiny
People come from all around
But look at me I’m not a pretty
Building downtown

Now it’s been years since I was born
Seems more since I fell ill
Almost gave up and now I’ve found
There is hope for me still
People struggled just like me
And I’m inexpensive
They bought me, cared- and fixed up
A place where they can live

They say that one man’s rubbish
Is a treasure if it’s found
By a person who has a dream
And wants to live downtown

I hope you remember the good
When the bad comes back around
And I am able to remain
A building downtown
