about

I love the weird indie-funk instrumentation and improvised, stream of consciousness lyrics of this track. I should've done more with this approach. Oh well.

lyrics

All the walls in all the world are falling down
Is this love, is this hate
Ignore the lion at the gates
Listen to his roar, as the raindrops pour

All the playbills on this street
Are falling down like sodden leaves
The puddles are all six feet deep
Don't these rain clouds ever sleep?
Listen to his roar, as the raindrops pour

If you built yourself a wooden horse
And left it at my door, of course
I'd let it in, no questions asked
For a chance to see your equine mask
We listen to him roar, as the raindrops pour

All the walls in all the world are falling down
All the stars in all the skies
All the tears in all the eyes
Are falling down

Listen to his roar, as the raindrops pour

In all the hearts in all the world are breaking down
Listening to his roar, as the raindrops pour
