lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 The walls are tumbing down around me. . . I can't see what you mean to me Cause I'm living in a masquerade Don't know how far I can go Before this endless, meaningless parade The path clouds up before me And I'm about to lose control I see beginnings of a madness That could devastate my soul The walls are tumbling down around me Your picture shatters on the floor Another morning cup of coffee? I can't take this anymore My cigarette and my lips just met For the hundreth time today My nerves won't mend, and the shakes won't end My whole life is running its own way The mirror cracks a stupid smile and cries But all I feel is emptiness And in my dreams I tell myself the lies That I believe in less and less The walls are tumbling down around me A bottle shatters on the floor Another evening shot of whiskey? I can't take this anymore I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me I can't believe that it's time to leave Just when I thought I was getting somewhere I never can tell if it's heaven or hell Until I'm so close I'm already there My eyes just glaze into a hazy film As I shuffle towards the door And all my mind can transmit now Is "I can't take it anymore." The walls are tumbling down around me An empty glass shatters on the door How can you say that you will miss me? I can't take this anymore I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me I can't take this anymore The walls are tumbling down around me |
