The Ivory Tower

Lovers and best friends
Are just examples of
Heroes and villains
In an opera
Maybe I'm cynical but
It seems like it's never enough
Fake conversations, negotiations
Never letting up

I know you know
So let's build an Ivory Tower
That will hide, back-up
And will shelter both of us
And suffer all the wars we have to fight
Cos love isn't always right

Trouble with feeling
Seems like it's all just a game
Puzzled, defeating
And always the same
Excellent beginnings
Kisses, tenderness
Terrible endings
Players defending
The hits and the misses

I know you know
So lets build an Ivory Tower
That will hide, back-up
And shelter both of us
And stand through all the wars we have to fight
Cos love isn't always right

Sad but right
Sad and...

I know what happens
When you've got a story to tell
And no one is understanding
No one will give you a chance
I know they don't believe you
I know

I know you know
So let's build an Ivory Tower
That will hide, back-up
And will shelter both of us
And suffer all the wars we have to fight
Cos love isn't all I know
You know
So let's build an Ivory Tower
That will hide, back-up
And shelter both of us
And suffer all the wars we have to fight
Cos love isn't always right

It's sad but right
