Lyrics: Ivory Tower

I'm you in fine array
Signed and sealed and locked away
There where the years seem to end with another...

I'd rather be outside in the rain
Empty pockets and no complaints
Than sitting in an ivory tower
Sifting the sand in the hour glass
Wasting my time in a pantomime
Never meant for human-kind

Past lives are floating by
Tired eyes that hide the lie
Ask me the reason why and you'll never discover...

I'd rather be outside in the rain
Empty pockets and no complaints
Than sitting in an ivory tower
Sifting the sand in the hour glass
Wasting my time in a pantomime
To the blind

I am trying to
Think of things you never knew
How can every day slip away
Oh how I feel

I'd rather be outside in the rain
Empty pockets and no complaints
Than sitting in an ivory tower
Sifting the sand in the hour glass
Wasting my time in a pantomime
For your mind

Castle of fast decay
Knights in armour gone astray
Paving the day for a stairway to nowhere...

I'd rather be outside in the rain
Empty pockets and no complaints
Than sitting in an ivory tower
Sifting the sand in the hour glass
Finding that I'm in a pantomime
Reading lines
Wasting my time
