The grass is high
And splintered in the rain
The fossil walls
Fixtures decay
And in the mansion on the hill
Behind its rusty gates
They are playing strings and wire
From the hidden ivory tower
And with seats out in the courtyard
We could stay and prey forever
On the creatures of the wild
That floats upon the edges
They assembled
For the hour of unveiling
Keep your seats now in the balcony
And throw your money down
We are playing strings and wires
From the hidden ivory tower
And with seats out in the courtyard
We could stay and prey forever
On the creatures of the wild
That floats upon the edges
All I would have said to them
Would tear that wall on down
All I say you have it
When I hear the way you feel
Oh and everybody's sound
Well I've been around
After the sun
Shining wheel well
All that's gone
Hear me now
The summer is gone
And I won't be the same
And It won't be long
