The title track of Roth’s second album Skyscraper found release as the flipside of the album’s third single “Damn Good”. It was also pushed out to radio stations but did not receive enough airplay to appear on the US Rock Chart.
I can hear the sound
Of the North Star calling
Put your high beams on (stay on my wing)
I'm falling (falling, falling, falling)
And spinning and turning (and spinning and turning)
This is ultra-glide
The beginnings of great things
Cannot be seen by your naked eye
Crack the skies like lightning
Mama's little sonic boom
Is simply frightening
I'm a skyscraper
Float like a butterfly
Acrobatic
Sting like a B-52
Dramatic
And a radar, a radar locks on you
No static
Can I reach it now?
I'm not up here often
God only knows
And He ain!t talkin'
Skyscraper
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh
Oh, oh, oh
