lyrics

born again man shakes a second hand tambourine
he nearly set fire to himself in his sleep
kevin just finished his shift for another week
roll over beethoven scratched out
on simon’s three string guitar
the heart is a tower without walls
two russian boys sit drinking at ten am
they ask if I know any girls
and if so could I please direct them
there is a woman who is known upon this street
flower blue eyes tea cosy assassin hat
her heart is a tower with no key
a worker fell from the scaffolding today
leaving behind another empty space
I ask the cameraman did you know his name?
he says I’m just here to film another empty space
but his heart was a tower of grace
did you know you need a licence for that?
we saw you out in Cotton Town last week
you’re not the best we’ve ever heard
but you played pretty good
did you know the heart is a tower of blood?
here come a child who can speak directly to god
take another drink to be sure
then ask me for a hug
Bernadette’s husband died on this very spot
Danny I remember what you can’t forget
with your hand all bloody and broken you said
death falls like a tower with no words
