When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed it,
When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed
The bricks and mortar have all given way,
At first, they resisted, but then they began to sway

How can you say, Forever is at your command?
How can you say, The future is in the palm, in the palm of your hand?

When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed it,
When the house was standing,
You'd never have believed
That gaping hole was once a foundation,
Where you stand now were tools in a basement, And

How can you say, Forever is at your command?
How can you say, The future's in the palm, in the palm of your hand?
