Empire State Human - The Human League

Since I was very young I’ve 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 art

I’m going to grow now and never stop

Think like a mountain, grow to the top

Chorus:

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 crawl, crawl, crawl

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 crawl, crawl, crawl

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 born kid

I’ll go to Egypt to be

The pyramids

(Chorus) over : —

Refrain 1:

Brick by brick

Stone by stone

Growing till he’s fully grown

Brick by brick

Stone by stone

Growing till he’s fully grown

Refrain 2:

Fetch more water

Fetch more sand

Biggest person in the land

Fetch more water

Fetch more sand

Biggest person in the land

(Refrain 1)

(Chorus) over : —

(Refrain 2)

(Refrain 1)
