The Tower Waltz

Climb, fast and bold,
the tower laden with gold
Through starless nights,
bent 'n' grey,
I will climb until the day

Black-out and in:
ascension covered in sin
Once I reach the crown
who's at fault?
I will dance and I will
I will dance and I will

Waltz along the wall
as if it were a dance hall
Waltz along the wall
as if it were a dance hall

Windows punched like holes,
a stairway to heaven for moles
No exchange of views,
but I'll say:
In spite of cold I feel my way
Ba da da ri da da, yeah

Groping for the top
although looking ready to drop
Sudden flash of light–
lightning bolt
and then a boom and down I

Waltz along the wall
as if it were a dance hall
Waltz along the wall
as if it were a dance hall

Along the wall, along the wall,
along the wall, along the–
I-I-I-I-I fall!

Flint struck from higher,
shine your beacon of fire
Lighthouse guide my soul
through the abyss
and may the crash reveal the–

Bliss,
that's what I miss
Let me in,
I'm just a mole
returning home

Waltz me till day
