New buildings going up, old buildings going down
They got something to say
(When I hold you in my arms)
(When I hold you in my arms)
I forget what's out there
New signs going up, old signs coming down
Just like an old neighborhood
Or get out of the way
They don't have to say a thing
(When I hold you in my arms)
All those people with their faces
New buildings going up, old buildings coming down
When I hold you in my arms
(When I hold you in my arms)
When I hold you in my arms
We've been blowing up the planet
When I hold you in my arms
They make it look so good
The older generation
All those gangsters with their crimes
You gotta hold on to something in this life
Just look around and you can see
New signs going up, old signs going down
(When I hold you in my arms)
Walkin' up the street
But they better say it fast
I forget what's out there
When I hold you in my arms
(When I hold you in my arms)
You gotta hold on to something in this life
