[Verse 1: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, proclaiming, strong over the drums] Forty floors of steel and the wind at the top Two years on the bolt gun and it never stops Cold coffee in a thermos and my hands like stone Every rivet in this tower I could call my own Across the street there's a school with a long brick wall Second grade windows looking out at it all Every morning little faces pressed up to the glass Waving at the crane every time we pass [Chorus: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, belted, the orchestra swells] Sign the beam and send it up Paint it white, put your name on top Every hand that built this town Sign the beam and send it up [Verse 2: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, proclaiming, gathering weight] Friday morning, last piece on the ground Painted white, with a flag and a tree tied down Crew in a line with the markers in hand That's the way it's done since this was farmland But the foreman looks over at the school on the hill Four hundred kids at the windows still He says pick it up, boys, we're carrying it there Twelve men walking that beam down the square [Chorus: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, belted, the orchestra swells] Sign the beam and send it up Paint it white, put your name on top Every hand that built this town Sign the beam and send it up [Bridge: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, proclaiming, building] Laid it on the blacktop by the swing set and the slide Kids came pouring out the doors from every side Purple marker, green marker, crooked and small Jayden, Maria, a dinosaur, a ball One kid wrote my daddy works here in the snow One kid drew the crane and the river below [Verse 3: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, beam swings in, the drums drop to a single kick while the orchestra rises, then everything lands together] Hook it to the crane and the cable goes tight Four hundred faces watching it take flight Up past ten and twenty, over thirty and higher Turning in the sun like a white-hot wire I'm at the top with the wrench in my hand Guide it in slow, steady, here it lands Bolt one, bolt two, and the kids go wild Every name up there is a city's child [Chorus: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, belted, the orchestra swells, the biggest it gets] Sign the beam and send it up Paint it white, put your name on top Every hand that built this town Sign the beam and send it up [Outro: Proclaiming Pittsburgh male lead, steady, the orchestra rings out and fades] Top of the city Their names on it [End]
