Come on now the curtain is down
And tomorrow stands before you
Dressed and draped in a coal black cape like a crow
He ignores you
Look again there's a beautiful girl
Covers sin in a holy land shroud
It's the great disappearing act
Done once again for the marvelled crowd
As we're chasing our tails
Biting our nails
So strong and frail
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down (x2)
With barely time to say
How did it get so late
I'll never know
Step outside now the door's open wide
And the minions are eager to find him
Put a million miles, under your heels
And you're still, behind him
Cover your clocks with your chains and your locks
While the seasons get harder and colder
Stretch your faces and lie about your age
And () still, oh we're gonna get older
As we're chasing...
And we build and tear down
Build and tear down (x3)
With barely time to say
How did it get so late
I'll never know
I'll never know
Hang on to your fingers break and your
Hands unwind
He will escape you every time
From under your pillows
Through open windows and out of the rails
And we build ...
