Empire State Human

Human League · Essential [2011]

Since I was very young I realised

I never wanted to be human size

So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams

They just remind me of how small I am

Because of this longing in my heart

I'm going to start the growing up

I'm going to grow now and never stop

Think like a mountain, grow to the top



Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall

As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall

And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow

Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall

Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall

As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall

And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow

Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall



With concentration

My size increased

And now I'm fourteen stories high

At least!!

Empire State Human

Just a bored kid

I'll go to Egypt to be

A pyramid



Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall

As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall

And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow

Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall

Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall

As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall

And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow

Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall



Brick by brick

Stone by stone

Growing till he's fully grown

Brick by brick

Stone by stone

Growing till he's fully grown
