Tower One Lyrics - Legendary Pink Dots

Faces at a window, fingers clutching at the bars. A fly skips from an 

eyebrow to an elbow, across a scar. And stars are laughing as the 

wind bites - doesn't leave a mark... because the Tower stands 

impregnable - a beacon in the dark. 

And no-one names a crime committed, no-one blames a soul. Their cases 

heard so long ago - forget about parole. And faculties are failing 

because they're really rather old. And sick. And tired, much too 

jaded. How they weep, cos how they hate it. 

Sky dye on her fingers. The air was turning blue, as captain 

whispered, 'Blindfold's optional - you wouldn't like the view! She 

shook her head and shouted back, "I'd like to see this through." Then 

joined the line of hostages - was 13th in the queue. 

Rusty chains and armoured pillows stuffed with silver pins. 

Collecting lives like butterflies, keep them all locked in. Tattoo 

with a star, write a number on the chin... It's not for turning. 

Slowly learning. Stomach churns, the fire's burning... No-one has the 

key to the Tower. 

And if you listen carefully, you'll hear a baby cry. Torn screaming 

from her mother's womb - the lady nearly died. But the torment never 

stops, it's written right across the eyes of George and Jeannie, 

Charlotte, Renie, Uncle Geoff, Cousin Julie, Audrey, Johnny, Andy, 

Mandy, Algernon. And Barbarella, Shelly, Napoleon. Winston, April, 

Philip, Roland, Barry, Sally, Patrick, Me! Me! Mimi...
