Inspired by a few years spent living in a Mies Van Der Rohe building, and the doorman who got drunk one night and pissed all over the lobby while about a dozen residents watched in horror.

lyrics

Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel
Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel

This is your new life
High up the old Drive
A life you thought you'd never know
You've got a doorman
And from your floor, man
You watch the fur coats come and go
Here comes the snow

Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel
Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel

In this location
Civilization
Seems at its very apogee
But when your sweet dream
Becomes a bad scene
It's just a fancy place to freeze
No thank you, Mies

Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel
Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel

But blocks away it's a different world
Of luminous dives and dancing girls
Your doorman's medicating there before his shift
So sick of being treated poorly by the rich

Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel
Glass and steel and you don't know what to feel

They're in the foyer
Gazing in horror
At his impromptu lobby show
They're all locked out
He's got his cock out
Straddles the couch and starts to go
And lets it flow!
