Verse 1:
I've been a believer in many things
I've past a sign post or two
I never could see why the bad folks won't change
Or why the good ones want to
Verse 2:
Everyone's left us alone to our ways
Thinking we might have been right
But I'm not so fond of this being alone
Especially this time of night
Chorus:
Here we are in our ivory tower
All our fears left behind
Looking on down from our ivory tower
Like everyone else has lost their mind
Verse 3:
I've tried to look to myself for my strength
Look to a song for release
Kept all the people I could at arms length
The ones that I never could please
Verse 4:
I've been refining the way that I feel
Towards all the ones who are near
I've been refining the way that I look
For all the women for years
Chorus (x2).
