Tear This Building Down Lyrics

T Bone Burnett Tear This Building Down

She's been told she's very bold
She takes dares seriously
Her face burns bright on our screens tonight
Til we fall asleep deliriously

She does a high kick for a live psychic
She puts her secrets on the line
I love you baby I love you crazy
I love you till the end of time

If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down

She must be dreaming the wires are teeming
She leers a smoky sideways glance
I love this town in its evening gown
I love it at ten cents a dance

So I'd turn it white with dynamite
Set the fuse then strike a match
Watch it fall neath the wrecking ball
Start over again from scratch

If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
I would tear this building down
