Tear It Down |
Lyrics(Whisper: Tear It Down; Shout: Hey you, over there... grab that ax, grab that shovel ... let's go to work)The weather's fine, why do you ask? Has talking to me become such a task? Your lips, they move, but they don't say too much Your body speaks, but I don't feel your touch You say I'm proud, I say I'm not Then you laugh at what we vowed and you say our love is shot We build this wall, up to the sky We've gotta tear it down (Tear It Down) You say you've gotta go, it's getting late Well what's so important now that it can't wait? And what's it like when you're not with me? Is someone touching you there (where?), well I can't see You say I'm scared, I say I'm not Then you laugh that I should care who will next fill that slot We build this wall, up to the sky We've gotta tear it down (Tear It Down) We've gotta tear it down Tear it down, don't build that wall so high Tear it down, don't let our love just die Tear it down, don't build that wall so, don't build that wall so high... We've gotta tear it down (Tear It Down), We've gotta tear it down, Well let's go!!!(guitar solo) We've gotta tear it down You say I'm scared, I say I'm not Then you laugh that I should care who will next fill that slot We build this wall, up to the sky, we've gotta tear it down (Tear It Down) We've gotta tear it down, we've gotta tear it down (Tear It Down) We've gotta tear it down, tear it down © 1983 Donnie Barren www.donniebarren.com |
