Tearing Down This Place (words & music by Freedy Johnston)
Knock it down, take it away
We've got work tearing down this place
Take it away, take it away, take it away
Here's the room where they lay awake
On a complicated night
He was staring at the wall
While she cried and cried and cried
Under a roof that held the the real rain out
And covered up the sound
He built her every wall
And we have to tear it down
Knock it down, take it away
We've got work tearing down this place
Built for a ghost, haunted by love and left to decay
Knock it down, take it away
We've got work tearing down this place
Take it away, take it away, take it away
There's the door he would walk right out
On an undecided night
He was spelling out her name
In the artificial lights
Through this window she could see her man
Staring at the town
He built her every wall
And we have to tear it down
Knock it down, take it away
We've got work tearing down this place
Built for a ghost, haunted by love and left to decay
Knock it down, take it away
We've got work tearing down this place
Take it away, take it away, take it away
