Tower of Lovers

I'm like you and you're like me
And it goes on like this for infinity
Until you're not like me anymore

It could be the weather, it could be the moon
It could be that waitress that makes her swoon
But it's not like it was before

And you wait under the covers
For some great tower of lovers
To topple down
And they say only the lonely
Know just how this dog and pony show ends

My best guess is a cloudy haze
And I'm little boy lost with heart ablaze
Burning all I touch

And it wouldn't matter, wouldn't mean a thing
Like caged canary that was trained to sing
But I love you too much

And you wait under the covers
For some great tower of lovers
To topple down
And they say only the lonely
Know just how this dog and pony show ends

No one, no one, no one knows
How to dress me up in the fancy clothes
And take me for a stroll

'Cause I get up then I sit down
I walk by trees and grass dead brown
A heart as black as coal

Build me up, build me up
Build me up until the tower comes down
Until the tower comes down

You build it up, you build it up
You build it up till the tower comes
You build it up, you build it up
You build it up till the tower comes down
You build it up, you build it up
You build it up till the tower comes down
You build it up, you build it up
You build it up, then the tower comes down
You build it up, you build it up
You build it up, then the tower comes

You wait under the covers
For some great tower of lovers
To topple down
And they say only the lonely
Know just how this dog and pony show ends
