tower of lovers
by jonathan mann
lyrics
i'm like you and you're like me
and it goes on like this for infinity
until you're not like me anymore
it could be the weather, it could be the moon
it could be that waitress that makes her swoon
but it's not like it was before
and you wait under the covers
for some great tower of lovers
to topple down
and they say only the lonely
know just how this dog and pony show
ends
my best guess is a cloudy haze
and i'm little boy lost with heart ablaze
burning all i touch
and it wouldn't matter, wouldn't mean a thing
like caged canary that was trained to sing
but i love you too much
and you wait under the covers
for some great tower of lovers
to topple down
and they say only the lonely
know just how this dog and pony show
ends
no one no one no one knows
how to dress me up in the fancy clothes
and take me for a stroll
'cause i get up then i sit down
i walk by trees and grass dead brown
a heart as black as coal
build me up, build me up
build me up until the tower comes down
until the tower comes down
you build it up, you build it up
you build it up till the tower comes
you build it up, you build it up
you build it up till the tower comes down
you build it up, you build it up
you build it up till the tower comes down
you build it up, you build it up
you build it up, then the tower comes down
you build it up, you build it up
you build it up, then the tower comes
you wait under the covers
for some great tower of lovers
to topple down
and they say only the lonely
know just how this dog and pony show
ends
