Walls Lyrics - Icehouse

Listen 

if you listen 

you will hear an endless heartbeat 

on the inside 

through the walls 

the sound is crawling 

down the corridors and halls 

it cracks the ceiling 

the windows and the doors 

all the rest won't listen 

though the walls have ears 

but they never really look 

they just stand and stare 

they're all standing 

staring at the walls 

who put the writing on the walls? 

will no-one ever know? 

Oh, well I don't mind the walls 

Tell me 

why don't you tell me? 

have you got nothing to say? 

tell me where in hell this place is 

tell me why I get no answers 

am I talking, taking to the walls? 

so it's running, jumping, standing still 

well I think I've had enough of it all 

get your hands up 

up against the wall 

(well, I'm never going back to the factory 

no I'll never be a part of the machinery) 

who put the writing on the wall? 

who fights and runs away? 

the minutes and the hours pass him 

tracing out the days 

the days and nights drag into years 

and no-one ever knows 

Oh, well I don't mind the walls 

Oh, well I don't mind the walls 

I don't mind the walls
