When are you going to tell us it's over?
How long will you keep us hanging on your hook?
You have us all by the short and curlys
Reading us all like a book

Building a tower of fear by the river
Build it up, build it up
Building a tower of fear by the river
Build it up, build it up

It's been 21 days and the tower keeps rising
21 days, that's all it took
The sun is disappearing on the horizon
You really should take a look

Building a tower of fear by the river
Build it up, build it up
Building a tower of fear by the river
Build it up, build it up
