Well my friends are gone, my hair is grey |
|
And i ache in all the places where i used to play |
|
And i'm crazy for love, but i'm not coming on |
|
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song |
|
I said to hank williams, "how lonely does it get?" |
|
Hank williams hasn't answered yet |
|
But i hear him coughing all night long |
|
A one hundred floors above me in the, in the tower of song |
|
Come on |
|
I was born like this, i had no choice |
|
I was born with the gift of a golden voice |
|
And twenty seven angels from the great beyond |
|
They tied me to this table right here in the tower of song |
|
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll |
|
I'm very sorry baby doesn't look like me at all |
|
And i'm standing by the window where the light is strong |
|
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the tower of song |
|
Come on |
|
Now you can say that i've grown bitter, hut of this you maybe sure |
|
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor |
|
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but i maybe wrong |
|
You see i hear these funny voices in the tower of song |
|
Now i bid you farewell i don't know when i'll be 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'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the tower of song |
|
Come on |
