Ivory Tower Lyrics

When I build my ivory tower filled with all the treasure it can hold

Shall I put you there, shall I put you there with all that silver and that gold

When I dig my deep, dark dungeon and fill it up with those who've done me wrong

Should I keep you down underneath the ground chained up to a cold stone wall

Some say your body is a temple, I say your body is a church

If I made you into my religion would you let me down or would you make me hurt?

Should I build a stone cathedral and cut your story into windows of stained glass?

Would it please you now just to look back down and see it rising up through the clouds

Do I take your love like a prescription or do I just take it like a drug?

If I made you into my addiction would you keep me down more than you lift me up?

They say all glory is fleeting and every mountain turns to dust

I think I'm off the same opinion so I guess that's got to be true for us

When I build my ivory tower built from all the treasure that I've sold

Just to keep you there. Just to keep you there

In place of silver, instead of gold. In place of silver, instead of gold

That's all I want, that's all I know
