Gabriel, Peter - The Tower That Ate People Lyrics
There's a bump in the basement
There's a knocking on the wall
In the pumping of the pistons
I swear I heard your call
There's a bump in the basement
There's a guard in the garden
Locking up the door
There's a rumble in the floorboards
No shutting out the sound
And the workers are below me digging underground
Feel the building all around me
Like a wrap of armored skin
But the more we are protected
The more we're trapped within
We're building up and up
We're building up and up
We're building up and up
We're building up and up
Till we can touch the sky
Tell it like it is
Till there's no misunderstanding
When you strip it right back
Man feed machine
Machine feed man
Tell it like it is
Till there's no misunderstanding
Make up what you like
Man fed machine
Machine feed man

Gabriel, Peter The Tower That Ate People Comments
woooow cool stuff
Who else loves The Progfather ? Brilliant artist !
Pure genius!
Better of the two mars movies released at the time.
More believable than alien beings seeding earth.
The film !!! Is the best space film....
I love this song
Brilliant artist, it's as if he has a fantasy going on in
his brain I think.Obscure,
and evocative song I think.
The Grenfell Tower That Killed People
Excellent soundtrack, crap movie
A seriously underrated movie. Sure, plenty of flaws, but the soundtrack ain't one of them! Graeme Revell, Emma Shapplin, Peter Gabriel, oh my!
and Police (when the world is running down)
Explain the flaws!
hit me with some pils!!!!!! now!!!!
Val Kilmer (bleached hair, orange sunglasses) looking at Mars, listening to 2000 zeitgeist music.
How can I download this version of this song??
Cosmic song.
many versions of this tune, what can i say, like them all.
Hm, so it's a remixed version of the OVO original after all...
I loved this movie and yes, I love Val Kilmer, but the scene when this song came up was so good, the song was so fitting. Great Peter Gabriel song.
Agreed 100%
I'll take it as a complement since Meytal Cohen
Has been my friend for 5 yrs I will always ❤️💃🏻🎶 Her To Michael Ward besides I don't even know you?😳 this comment was for a woman
Anyway👍 don't freak out!!!
Skinny puppy ripoff
HatredPrime haha kinda😂
Val Kilmer blasts this on the ship in "Red Planet.."
so badass
I wish I live the same scene - looking to Mars from a window - listening to this - first class procrastination material
@Ryder yeah that scene is what i think of when i listen to this every time so badass
rEMIXED from the "Ovo" version

One of Gabriels best songs, strangely... good film too!
Totally agree
great music and score, bad movie
More like strangely good song. You'd never thought Peter contributed to it if it wasn't 4 that certain sumthin
I love all his music but this song is different and awesome! I started with Genesis back in the 70's and am still impressed with his originality, talent and versatility. Great dance song!!
Amy disliked it!
thank you Bajo.
I love this movie!
I love this song
thank u so much!
A thnx man!!!Exactly what i was searching for ;)
