Ivory Tower

My friend lives in an ivory tower
She's protected from misery
She doesn't worry she's got power
She controls all she sees
But her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
She strolls down the rose lined lane
With her thoughts up in the air
And she never has known pain
Yet she still insists she cares
But her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
Still you got to be careful
What you say to her
Still you got to be careful
What you say
My friend lives in an ivory tower
She's protected from misery
She doesn't worry she's got power
She controls all she sees
Still her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
