Lyrics

Guaranteed better than permanent
There's a monument to itself
Obviously self-evident
Built with the best intentions
There's a book holdin' up a shelf
There's a box built for inventions
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs
Cement and reinforced steel
And anything else you can dream
The concept versus the real?
And with a ruler, hey, who needs feelings?
See the light on the ruler gleam
Measuring the space you're in
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs
Informing you with such confidence
By backing it up with faith
Findin' absolutes from estimates
Kneel to the mysteries
Keep the secrets safe
Learn the masons' history
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs thrown down
The cliffs
