Tear This Building Down Lyrics - Twenty Twenty - The Essential T Bone Burnett - Burnett T-bone

She's been told she's very bold 

She takes dares seriously 

Her face burns bright on our screens tonight 

Till we fall asleep deliriously 

She does a high kick for a live psychic 

She puts her secrets on the line 

I love you baby I love you crazy 

I love you till the end of time 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

She must be dreaming the wires are teeming 

She leers a smoky sideways glance 

I love this town in its evening gown 

I love it at ten cents a dance 

So I'd turn it white with dynamite 

Set the fuse then strike a match 

Watch it fall neath the wrecking ball 

Start over again from scratch 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

I would tear this building down 

Go! 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

If I had my way 

If I had my way 

I would tear this building down 

I would tear this building down 

I would tear this building down 

Go!
