  • Tears of the feeble
    Hands of the slaves
    Skin of the mothers
    Mouths of the babes
    Building the towers
    Belongs to the sky
    When the whole thing comes crashing down
    Don't ask me why
    Don't ask me why

    Under the shelf
    The shelf of the sky
    Two eyes, two suns
    Too heavenly blinds
    Swallowing rivers
    Belongs to the sea
    When the whole thing washes away
    Don't run to me

    I'll be going down
    For the rest of the slide
    While the rest of you harvest the gold
    And the wreck of you
    Is the death of you all
    And the wreck of you is the break and the fall
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the death of you all
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the break and the fall

    Under the red break of the lights
    Heroes in the stretches
    Inch to the site
    Blowing the pieces
    Belong to the wind
    When the whole thing blows away
    I won't pretend, no

    I'll be going down
    For the rest of the ride
    While the rest of you harvest the souls

    And the wreck of you
    Is the death of you all
    And the wreck of you
    Is the break and the fall
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the death of you all
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the break and the fall

    Under the red under the lights
    Lies the wreck of you for the rest of your life

    And the wreck of you
    Is the death of you all
    And the wreck of you
    Is the break and the fall
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the death of you all
    I'm the wreck of you
    I'm the break and the fall

    While the rest of you harvest the gold
    While the rest of you harvest the souls Writer/s: Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Matthew Cameron
