Lyrics to The Tower



I’m staying now in a vacation house

It’s all season, there’s no reason to leave



Today in the fishing boat I pulled the choke

And started the engine and set it on slow



I patrolled down the river under collapsing hopes

And dead leaves and mossy trees you know I made my way

down to the gulf



I let my friends go to let my friends know

Tonight I’m staying in to do my tarot, I got stuck on a

card I couldn’t let it go

The burning tower hit by lightning and people are jumping

out

It’s coming down, it’s coming down
