The Legendary Pink Dots - Tower One lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - Tower One lyrics]
Faces at a window
Fingers clutching at the bars a
Fly skips from an eyebrow to an elbow
Across a scar and stars are laughing as the
Wind bites - doesn't leave a
Mark because the Tower stands
Impregnable - a beacon in the dark
And no-one names a crime committed
No-one blames a soul their cases
Heard so long ago - forget about
Parole and faculties are failing
Because they're really rather old
And sick and tired, much too
Jaded how they weep, cos how they hate it
Sky dye on her fingers the
Air was turning blue, as captain
Whispered, 'Blindfold's optional
You wouldn't like the view! She
Shook her head and shouted back
"I'd like to see this through" Then
Joined the line of hostages
Was 13th in the queue
Rusty chains and armoured pillows
Stuffed with silver pins
Collecting lives like butterflies
Keep them all locked in tattoo with a star
Write a number on the chin
It's not for turning
Slowly learning stomach churns
The fire's burning no-one has the
Key to the Tower
And if you listen carefully
You'll hear a baby cry torn screaming
From her mother's womb - the lady
Nearly died but the torment never
Stops, it's written right across the
Eyes of George and Jeannie
Charlotte, Renie, Uncle Geoff, Cousin
Julie, Audrey, Johnny, andy
Mandy, Algernon and Barbarella
Shelly, Napoleon winston, april
Philip, Roland, Barry, Sally, Patrick
Me! Me! Mimi
Fingers clutching at the bars a
Fly skips from an eyebrow to an elbow
Across a scar and stars are laughing as the
Wind bites - doesn't leave a
Mark because the Tower stands
Impregnable - a beacon in the dark
And no-one names a crime committed
No-one blames a soul their cases
Heard so long ago - forget about
Parole and faculties are failing
Because they're really rather old
And sick and tired, much too
Jaded how they weep, cos how they hate it
Sky dye on her fingers the
Air was turning blue, as captain
Whispered, 'Blindfold's optional
You wouldn't like the view! She
Shook her head and shouted back
"I'd like to see this through" Then
Joined the line of hostages
Was 13th in the queue
Rusty chains and armoured pillows
Stuffed with silver pins
Collecting lives like butterflies
Keep them all locked in tattoo with a star
Write a number on the chin
It's not for turning
Slowly learning stomach churns
The fire's burning no-one has the
Key to the Tower
And if you listen carefully
You'll hear a baby cry torn screaming
From her mother's womb - the lady
Nearly died but the torment never
Stops, it's written right across the
