Tear Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You sit there staring
With your little girl smile
You got it all figured out
So many others
You thought they were like me
You don't know me
In this world of fear and desperation
You seem to have it all in your hands
So used to holding things - holding things
But no one ever made you understand
So come on and tear me down
Tear me down
Take anything you need - anything
Tear me down
Tear me down
I know what you want
So come on and tear me down
So many people headed the wrong way
Me, I've been - and I'm going again
Windsurfing on a fast train
Chances are none and slim
You think you're the only one
In the whole world
That's ever danced upon the razor's edge
I don't need to pour more fuel on the fire
But if that's what you want come on
So come on and tear me down
Tear me down
Take anything you need - anything
Tear me down
Tear me down
I know what you want
So come on and tear me down
