Lyrics
Tower Of The Sun
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.
Since 1970, standing alone on a northern hill
Waiting steadily for time to move
Since 1970, a shining face, 60 feet tall
Looking out at the distance impassively
The sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
Since 1970, he's had two wings on his back
Standing in the sun with open wings
Since 1970, his body's painted red & white
What does he symbolize? Nobody knows
The sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Sun can't shine on all creatures
There's a sunny place cause there's the shade
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
Tower of the sun When do you start to move
