Tower of Song (Leonard Cohen cover)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Well my friends are gone and my hair is greynI ache in the places I used to playnAnd I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming onnI'm paying my rent everyday in the Tower of SongnnI said to Leonard Cohen: How lonely does it get?nLeonard Cohen hasn't answered me yetnBut I can hear him coughing all night long,nA million floors above me in the Tower of SongnnI was born like this, I had no choicenI was born like this, with a golden voicenTwenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond,nWell they tied me to this table right here in the Tower of SongnnYou can stick your needles in a voodoo dollnI'm sorry baby, but it don't look like me at allnI'm standing by the window where the light is strongnThey don't let a woman kill you in the Tower of SongnnI've grown bitter, bitter, of this you may be sure:nThe rich, the rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poornAnd there's a mighty judgement but it won't be long, but I may be wrongnYou see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song - oh yeah -nThe guitar, the bass, the drums, so nice every hour in the Tower of SongnnI see you standing on the other sidenI don't know how the river got so widenBut I loved you, baby, way back whennAll the bridges are burning that we might have crossed,nBut I feel so close to everything that we lostnBut I'll never have to lose you again, Tower of SongnnI bid you farewell, I don't know when I'm backnThey're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the tracknBut you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gonenI'm speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of SongnnNow you can say that I've grown bitter, of this you can be sure:nThe rich have got channels in the bedrooms of the poornAnd there's a mighty judgement but it won't take long, I may be wrong
