Ivory Towers - Piano
[Verse 1]
Never been a better you
Never been a better me
Shadows kept in exile
Let’s lock them into history
Put our famine into flight
Shedding shame our colors soar
Speaking in magic tongues
Make love in reruns
Crashing waves upon your shore
Ever more
[Chorus]
Young ones painting dreams like rainbow showers
Embracing possibility soul to soul
Like ivory towers, ivory towers
Neighbors whisper venom in old museums
You kiss me, it lingers, we’re tearing down broken regimes
They tear at the seams
[Verse 2]
We’re in the cusp of riding waves
Far from bombs and orange men
I show you my fragility
You vulnerable comedian
So tango with me in the dark
Kiss me in the still of night
Lay with me in sand dunes
Skin on skin in pale moonlight
[Chorus]
Young ones painting dreams like rainbow showers
Embracing possibility soul to soul
Like ivory towers, ivory towers
Neighbors whisper venom in old museums
You kiss me, it lingers, we’re tearing down broken regimes
They tear at the seams
[Bridge]
There’s no word in any language for that sense of breaking free
You move around the stage of life like you were born to fight and flee
Open that door, take me to your world
Open your door, take me far from these walls
[Chorus]
Young ones painting dreams like rainbow showers
Embracing possibility soul to soul
Like ivory towers, ivory towers
Neighbors whisper venom in old museums
You kiss me, it lingers, we’re tearing down broken regimes
They tear at the seams
[Outro]
Never been a better you
Never been a better me
Shadows kept in exile
Let’s lock them into history
Put our famine into flight
Shedding shame our colors soar
Speaking in magic tongues
Make love in reruns
Crashing waves upon your shore
Ever more
