Brickwall

With pigeon steps, we walk over the case that we will put to her With faces turned in supplication But dead time plays cruel tricks Making patience irritation and the amiable made intolerant These are your hoops In flickering flame Bang, bang on the wall Don't make no sense at all Still, you try anyhow Hoping against hope they see the light Let's play let's pretend This night may ever end A fool sat on a throne condemns a court, oh The minutes elongate into... Ours is not to reason why A question turns into a sigh Now you're tripping down the corridor Wearing out your heels Frustrated and mistreated While expectant eyes hang on your every frown These are your hoops In flickering flame They all call your name Bang, bang on the wall Don't make no sense at all Still you try anyhow Hoping against hope they see the light Let's play let's pretend This night may ever end A fool sat on a throne condemns a court, oh Hold me in contempt This may never end The argument swirls round and round And round and round And round and round And round and round And round Bang, bang on the wall Don't make no sense at all Still you try anyhow Hoping against hope they see the light Let's play let's pretend This night may never end A fool sat on a throne condemns a court, oh Bang, bang on the wall You're making no excuses You're not making any progress But you bang, bang, bang on the wall Bang, bang shake the foundations You know they can't take it forever And someday they'll fall
