Tower Of Song

Well my friends are gone, my hair is grey
And I ache in all the places where I used to play
And Im crazy for love, but Im not coming on
Im just paying my rent every day in the tower of song
I said to Hank Williams, 'how lonely does it get?'
Hank Williams hasnt answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A one hundred floors above me in the, in the tower of song
Come on
I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here in the tower of song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
Im very sorry baby doesnt look like me at all
And Im standing by the window where the light is strong
They dont let a woman kill you, not in the tower of song
Come on
Now you can say that Ive grown bitter, but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And theres a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
You see I hear these funny voices in the tower of song
Now I bid you farewell I dont know when Ill be back
Theyre moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But youll be hearing from me baby long after Im gone
Ill be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the tower of song
Come on
