Back to the Tower Songtext
von Direct Hit!

You forgot to say bye when you said it was time to go
Didn′t think I'd be back so soon, did you?
Where′s the love that you spoke of? Where's the welcome home?
I don't get it but the other side misses you

One by one, you′ll end up just like the rest of us
In a line waiting quietly for your turn
Resurrection′s just a point, a rеsousfus
Where evеryone just ends up in the earth

So for one last time, would you just plant one on my cheek?
And tell me you're all right and everything′s A-OK

You're going back to the old white tower
Where you′ll wait for a higher power
To tell you where you'll end up just like us


Hello love, how are you? I′m game for one last long, long look at you
We only just met but it seems like it's
Been a lifetime since you came through
The haze of waking up at the bottom of
A barrel shaped just like a staircase
So I hope that you don't hate that I
Appreciate just looking at your face

So for one last time, would you just plant one on my cheek?
And tell me you′re all right and everything′s A-OK
And it won't be long, my darling girl, before we meet up once again
Because the bomb′s only a minute or two away

So goodbye for the last time, it's my time to go
Gotta bring these idiots to their ropes
They′re all late for appointments with the boss above
And he's not one that forgets to choke

I′ll see you up in the old white tower
Waiting with a bouquet of flowers
In my hand, smiling down from the back of the line
Saint Peter's got your name on his tablet
I'll introduce you, admit my habit
Disappeared when I met you, now I′m fine


You′re going back to the old white tower
Where you'll wait for a higher power
To tell you where you′ll end up just like us
Sweating bullets waiting for your judgement
Did you pass? Did you fail the subjects?
Just enough to make you stand in line
