Tear It Down Lyrics by Spoon

Hot Thoughts

2017

[Verse 1]
You were out walking the park
I was at the owl cafe
When the sirens rang
And no we're never gonna meet
But I feel you anyway
I was trying to get out of town
You passed in an ambulance
We were in a trance
And now we're never gonna meet
But I feel you anyway
Yeah, I feel you today

[Chorus]
Let them build a wall around us
I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down
It's just bricks and ill intentions
They don't stand a chance
I'll tear it down

[Verse 2]
Signals you send
Secrets you would never tell
People you've been
People you bend to your will
Darkness comes on
And lingers past the dawn
Tension, it lends
Tension, tension, waiting, waiting

[Chorus]
Let them build a wall around us
I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down
It's just bricks and ill intentions
They don't stand a chance
I'll tear it down
Mmm, tear it on down
Mmm

[Bridge]
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, I'll tear it down
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, I'll tear it down

[Verse 3]
You were just getting off work
I was down at the city stacks
When the sky went black
And now we're never gonna meet
But I feel you anyway
Yeah, I feel you today

[Chorus]
Let them build a wall
I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down
It's just bricks and ill intentions
They don't stand a chance
I'll tear it down
Mmm, tear it on down

[Instrumental Outro]
