Artist/Band: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Lyrics for Song: Tower Of Song
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds



Well my friends are gone and my hair is gray

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 judgment

But it won't be long, but I may be wrong

You see, 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, Tower of Song, 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 the channels

In the bedrooms of the poor

And there's a mighty judgment coming

But it won't take long, I may be wrong

Tower of Song, Tower of Song, Tower of Song

You got big long legs

And I let you in the Tower of Song

Big legs baby

And I let you in the Tower of Song
