See the Tower Lyrics

[Verse 1] See the tower, tall and beautiful Like a thimble on a sharp pencil People know of you no matter where I go Your reputation is international [Refrain] See the tower See the tower [Verse 2] Helicopters buzzing 'round your tip You were built in 1976 Though you're not the tallest building in the world You're still a modern wonder for the boys and girls [Refrain] See the tower See the tower [Verse 3] Looking out over Lake Ontario Do you wonder where the decades go? It's a Jagged Pill to swallow whole But you, you, you, you, you oughta know [Verse 4] Tiny Tim once had a concert there His ukulele and his wavy hair He played "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" too Just another day in the life for you [Refrain] See the tower See the tower [Verse 5] My pal Richard, he had a good friend Worked at the tower in the '80s and He got fired for joyriding on the roof Of the elevator, what a goof [Verse 6] Made of concrete with a hollow shaft They dropped pumpkins just to see them smashed I went on a date there so long ago And she never ever ever ever ever let me go [Verse 7] We crashed millions so Canadians Could look out at their home on native land Rockets played cowboys and Indians Not being taught about colonialism [Refrain] See the tower See the tower [Verse 8] Any questions, you can ask the mayor If they're not banning a band or having an affair Selling furniture, forging contracts Or getting videotaped while they're smoking crack [Verse 9] You light up the city sky at night Giving comfort with your laser light Is that King Kong climbing to the top? Will the tower ever ever ever ever ever stop? [Verse 10] Private parties on your upper deck Looking at you is a pain in the neck I could see you from my windowsill I adored you, I adore you still .
