[Verse 1]
He was a husband who drove his wife home drunk from the parties
He was a husband who drove his wife home
And in the car he would lean her head gently against the side door window
And in the bathroom, he would hold her hair back and hope, saying

[Refrain]
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
So tall these days

[Verse 2]
And in the morning, she'd wake up and crouch recollections all day
But she would always, always wake up the next morning
He'd take one look at her and say, "Oh, oh, it's okay"
And her conscience would issue yet another last warning, saying

[Refrain]
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
Oh, they build buildings
So tall these days
