The Long Ryders

Ivory Tower

The Long Ryders


My friend lives in an ivory tower
She's protected from misery
She doesn't worry she's got power
She controls all she sees

But her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down

She strolls down the rose lined lane
With her thoughts up in the air
And she never has known pain
Yet she still insists she cares

But her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down

Still you got to be careful
What you say to her
Still you got to be careful
What you say

My friend lives in an ivory tower
She's protected from misery
She doesn't worry she's got power
She controls all she sees

Still her blinders work too well
She don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
It's too late
Your ivory tower's falling down
