Skyscraper by Fuck Your Birthday
Even though FYB was founded in America, we've been based in Wenzhou ever since 2018. And when we first got here, we took note of Wenzhou's World Trade Center building. It's a towering skyscraper among several high-rise apartment buildings, and we can see it from almost anywhere near the city center. It's been like a guiding light, reminding us to keep striving to climb higher and higher.
Lyrics;
Willing you
Calling you
Pushing you
Eating you
There’s a monster structure in my city
I can see it from any balcony
Its glass grows from the concrete below
like the roots of a tree far away from home
I have a King Kong complex
Sometimes I wanna stretch and climb it up
Up
Up
Night
Willing you
Calling you
Pushing you
Eating you
Night
Willing you
Calling you
Pushing you
Eating you
There are millions of people in my city
hang drying clothes on every balcony
The businessmen go from home to work to home
Workers in factories wait at the bank for loans
They’ve got a tall beanstalk quest
No time to even rest. Keep climbing up
Up
Up
Willing you
Calling you
Pushing you
Eating you… all up
Up
Up
Up
Up
