Verse 1:

I've been a believer in many things

I've past a sign post or two

I never could see why the bad folks won't change

Or why the good ones want to



Verse 2:

Everyone's left us alone to our ways

Thinking we might have been right

But I'm not so fond of this being alone

Especially this time of night



Chorus:

Here we are in our ivory tower

All our fears left behind

Looking on down from our ivory tower

Like everyone else has lost their mind



Verse 3:

I've tried to look to myself for my strength

Look to a song for release

Kept all the people I could at arms lentgh

The ones that I never could please



Verse 4:

I've been refining the way that I feel

Towards all the ones who are near

I've been refining the way that I look

For all the women for years



Chorus (x2).
