Tower of Song
(专辑: B-Sides & Rarities - 2005)
Tower song I'm a
singer in the
tower of song OK, now 1, 2, 3, 4
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey I
ache in the
places I
used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm paying my rent everyday in the
Tower of Song I
said to Leonard Cohen: How lonely does it get? Leonard Cohen hasn't answered me yet But I
can hear him coughing all night long A
million floors above me in the
Tower of Song I
was born like this, I
had no choice I
was born like this, with a
golden voice Twenty-seven angels from the
Great Beyond Well they tied me to this table right here in the
Tower of Song You can stick your needles in a
voodoo doll I'm sorry baby, but it don't look like me at all I'm standing by the
window where the
light is strong They don't let a
woman kill you in the
Tower of Song I've grown bitter, bitter, of this you may be sure: The
rich, the
rich have got channels in the
bedrooms of the
poor And there's a
mighty judgement but it won't be long, but I
may be wrong You see, you hear these funny voices in the
Tower of Song oh yeah The
guitar, the
bass, the
drums, so nice every hour in the
Tower of Song I
see you standing on the
other side I
don't know how the
river got so wide But I
loved you, baby, way back when All the
bridges are burning that we might have crossed But I
feel so close to everything that we lost But I'll never have to lose you again, Tower of Song I
bid you farewell, I
don't know when I'm back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the
track But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone I'm speaking to you sweetly from a
window in the
Tower of Song Now you can say that I've grown bitter, of this you can be sure: The
rich have got channels in the
bedrooms of the
poor And there's a
mighty judgement but it won't take long, I
may be wrong
