WHEN BUILDINGS COLLAPSE

((( Man # 3 )))

When buildings collapse
There's nothing you can do
But pray your loved ones die quickly

Doing laundry in the basement
Of our tall apartment building
Nothing clean to wear
I went out to buy some groceries
Left you waiting in the laundry room
Content to sit and stare
At the washer spinning round and round
And round and round and round

When buildings collapse
There's nothing you can do
But pray your loved ones die quickly

Earthquake shakes beneath the pavement
Left you waiting in the basement
The building's falling down
If you're not dead, hope you die quickly
Even though I love you dearly
The circle's spinning round
Like the washer underground
It's underground
You're underground
Spinning round and round and round

Two times I lost you
Died within a year
I know this time you won't last any longer
I wish my faith was stronger
But it wasn't strong enough
Separation is incredibly tough to survive
So I died by my hand
Born again to relive losing you
Haunted with knowledge of our past Lives
Our past loves
Our past hopes
Our past dreams
Our past nightmares
And the days in-between

Now I don't know
If you're still alive under there
But I know you won't last more than a year
'Cause the Lesson is in session
And the session is closed
To be without you girl is all that I fear

When buildings collapse on your true love

When buildings collapse
There's nothing you can do
But pray your loved ones die quickly

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
