Jim Cuddy Skyscraper Soul lyrics

Everyone knows it, try not to show it,
This city can bring you down
I'm a believer some days are hard, but
I couldn't leave this town

I got a skyscraper soul
Like a flower that comes where the sun never goes
Skyscraper soul
Filling my heart where there once was a hole

Look out my window
Watching the sun go down
On the crowds below
I know the struggle,
Weaving through trouble
Life can be hard, I know

I got a skyscraper soul
There's mud in my veins and there's steel in my bones
Skyscraper soul
Building it all up from water and stones


Look through the market stalls
Over broken walls
To this hollowed ground
Looks are deceiving
There's a heart beating
Here in this battered town

Cause I got a skyscraper soul
Like a flower that comes where the sun never goes
Skyscraper soul
Filling it all up with water and stones

I've got a skyscraper soul
There's mud in my veins and there's steel in my bones
Skyscraper soul
Brushing the rust off and losing control
