Letra de BUILDING DOWNTOWN (ANTICHRIST TELEVISION BLUES) de THE ARCADE FIRE.

( The Arcade Fire )

Don´t wanna work in a building downtown
No, I don´t wanna work in a building downtown
I don´t know what I´m gonna do
Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two
Don´t wanna work in a building downtown
No, I don´t wanna see it when the planes hit the ground

Don´t wanna work in a building downtown
Don´t wanna work in a building downtown
Parkin´ the cars in the underground
The voices when they scream, well they make no sound
Wanna see the cities rust
And the troublemakers ridin´ on the back of the bus

Dear God, I´m a good Christian man
I´m your boy, i know you understand
That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
The girl´s thirteen, but she don´t act her age
She can sing like a bird in cage
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she´s up on that stage

You know that I´m a god-fearin´ man
You know that I´m a god-fearin´ man
I just gotta know if it´s a part of your plan
To see my darling stand by your right hand
I know you will do what´s right, Lord
For they are the lanterns and you are the light

Now I´m overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
Tell me what to say
I´ll be your mouthpiece

Into the light of a bridge that burns
As I drive through the city with the money that I earn
To the dark of a starless sky
I won´t stare into nothing and I´m asking you why
Lord, let me make her a star
So the world can see who you really are

Little girl, you´re old enough to understand
You´ll always be a stranger in a strange strange land
Men are gonna come while you´re fast asleep
So you better just stay close and hold onto me
If mama´s mockingbird don´t sing well,
Then daddy won´t buy her no diamond ring

Dear God, will you send me a child?
Oh God, will you send me a child?
´cause I wanna put it up on the tv screen
So the world can see what your true Word means
Lord, won´t you send me a sign?
´cause i just gotta know if I´m wastin´ my time

Now I´m overcome
By the light of day
My lips are near
But my heart is far away
But now the war is won
How come nothing tastes good?

Oh you´re such a sensitive child (sensitive child)
You know you´re such a sensitive child
I know you´re tired, but it´s all right
I just needed you to sing for me tonight
You´re gonna have your day in the sun
You know God loves the sensitive ones

Oh my little girl in a cage
Oh my little bird in a cage
I need you to get up for me up on that stage
Show all the men that you´re old for your age
Now in the times of fear
But if you don´t take it, it´ll disappear

Oh my little mockingbird sing
Come on, my little mockingbird sing
I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey
Show the men it´s not about the money
Want to hold a mirror up to the world
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl

Do you know where i was at your age?
Any idea where i was at your age?
I was workin´ downtown for the minimum wage!
And I couldn´t let you just throw it all away
Threw me a kid, God, throw me a knife
So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist?
