lyrics

I have built an ivory tower
That shines beneath the morning star
Its geometry is well defined
It phosphorescently inclines.

Ionic form, iambic mode
Harmoniously composed
My esoteric grand designs
Come and see what I've contrived.

Oh, oh, mama
Oh, oh, mama
See what I have done.

And where this ivory tower stands
Used to be such fertile land
Glowflies glimmered here before
Lighting up the forest floor.

Now it's full of coffee carts
And hipsters with their SLRs
The building of a minaret
Serves to mock the architect.

Its walls were made by grinding up
A thousand pachydermus' tusks
Trees were ripped out from the earth
And covered up with Astroturf.

And I wait for you to call
Any time at all
Oh mama, see what I have done.

And the beauty I've destroyed
A child with his toy
Singing "Mama, see what I have done"

See what I have done.

Oh, oh, mama
Oh, oh, mama
See what I have done.
