40 stories scraping the sky
A Thousand hours on this job so far
Two more weeks and I'll be done
Then I can get my...

Pay for all this time, that I've spent on this life
Will there ever come a day that I won't work my time away

Waiting for that bell to ring
Out on the ledges when the daylight disappears
Won't be long till I'm on the ground
Then I can get...

Away from all this time, that I've spent on this life
Will there ever come a day that I won't work my time away

People gathering in the streets
Sirens getting closer and closer
Fire's raging and there's no saving
All the work that we have done

I think it's time for a change
See myself getting older and older
Now there's a reason for me leaving
That I've been waiting for so long
