Tear This Castle Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cast on a desert isle Beside a cool green sea Left our loaded bags Another turn for me Nothing but a wreck Is lying very near But I have a need Will have to come from here [Chorus] And it's a strange place To live my life in too And it's a hard time To start all over Shipwrecked! Abandoned! Tear this castle down! [Verse 2] Lost on a dreary plain We sigh alone, unclean Left our loaded bags Another turn for me Closing books and wealth The answers have to learn Meaning where to stop And watch the castle burn [Chorus] And it's a hard thing To tell my secret too And I've been so pressed To give a message How can I know? Tell me man! To tear this castle down! [Slow interlude 1] Mmm-hmm Oh-oh! When you find the time Reach back into your mind Tell me what you see Are there pictures of me? [Fast interlude 1] I draw a circle round The broken ruins there You have let them twist your mind And cut off all your hair Please do not be truly hurtful Tell me how you feel Do you really like it, baby? Are you being real? [Slow interlude 2] Gold and crimson and green Wait for you in a dream Turn them round in your way Or they will number your days [Fast interlude 2] All the people who attend to a motive Cast upon a raging and bewildering sea No, I really cannot feel, I'm gonna drive it 'Cause your mama is concerned with what the future's gonna be So you're hanging on already and the sky is getting Blacker and the waves are rising higher than a tree Where is the captain? Where is the captain?! Oh-oh Oh, hmm [Verse 3] Cast on a desert isle Beside a cool green sea Left our loaded bags Another turn for me Nothing but a wreck Is lying very near But I have a need Will have to come from here [Chorus] And it's a bad time To live my life in too And I've been so pressed To give a message How can I know? Ah, tell me man! Tear this castle down!
