Collection Lyrics - Singles - The Filthy Violets

Just watch the wrecking balls 

Razing last year's crown 

Burning bright like the best of falls 

And so audible the sound 

Just watch and watch 

Stare and stare 

Shed a tear and pretend to care 

Oh to care 

Shoved you face down in the muck 

They said goodbye but not good luck 

Oh just for a dime 

I'd be obliged to watch you waste my time 

My time 

These statues they don't mean a thing 

Your voice is gold my love 

Please sing 

My monuments they go unseen 

I built them up just to see you dream 

Oh just to see you dream 

To see you dream 

All rivers to the sea 

And all roads back to me 

Still just for a dime 

I'd be obliged to watch you waste my time 

My time 

These statues they don't mean a thing 

Your voice is gold my love 

Please sing 

My monuments they go unseen 

I built them up just to see you dream 

Oh just to see you dream 

To see you dream
