Just watch the wrecking balls
Razing last year's crown
Burning bright like the best of falls

And so audible the sound
Just watch and watch
Stare and stare

Shed a tear and pretend to care
Oh to care
Shoved you face down in the muck

They said goodbye but not good luck
Oh just for a dime
I'd be obliged to watch you waste my time

My time
These statues they don't mean a thing
Your voice is gold my love

Please sing
My monuments they go unseen
I built them up just to see you dream

Oh just to see you dream
To see you dream
All rivers to the sea

And all roads back to me
Still just for a dime
I'd be obliged to watch you waste my time

My time
These statues they don't mean a thing
Your voice is gold my love

Please sing
My monuments they go unseen
I built them up just to see you dream

Oh just to see you dream
To see you dream
