Screaming Walls Lyrics

If these walls could whisper, what stories they'd tell

If these walls could whisper, they'd know you too well

Stories of people from far and from near

They gave them some shelter for rain and for fear

Gave room for laughter

A punch and a kiss

The walls stored all memories not one they missed

Oh the walls don't whisper

Scream is what they do

"Don't let me crumble"

They beg me and you

Dust and decay are taking their toll

Soon there'll be no more town of old

"It's a shame" say the people as they watch and weep

But the businessman has his promise to keep

"I'll take these memories and make 'em my gold"

Growing his wealth till he's buried and cold

The stones will fly

So down they go

The curtains will fall at the end of the show

Oh the walls don't whisper

Scream is what they do

"Don't let me crumble"

They beg me and you

Sledgehammering men are taking their toll

Soon there'll be no more town of old

But the walls will whisper, in the stories we tell

'Bout the walls of the old town we used to know so well

In our boxes of concrete, our houses so new

Making new memories but still they're so few

Oh the walls of the old town stood mighty and strong

With their millions of memories they remain in this song

Oh the walls don't whisper, scream is what they do

"Don't let me crumble" they beg me and you

Dust and decay are taking their toll

Soon there'll be no more town of old

The stones will fly, so down they go

The curtains will fall at the end of the show
