(Ron Mael)
|
It's so easy
|
Tearing the place apart
|
I'm getting rid of every memory
|
I don't know where to start
|
So many memories all around me
|
Now that you've gone to someone else
|
Give me a reason I should keep, our world that is acres deep,
|
in which you touched, in which you saw, in which you were
|
It's so easy
|
|
Tearing the place apart
|
each square of vinyl that you stepped on
|
Pulled up and thrown away
|
And burned with linen that we slept on
|
All my collections out they go
|
stamps of all nations where we'd been
|
and we had been everywhere
|
They're ripped in two
|
They're ripped in four
|
They're in the wind
|
It's so easy
|
|
(chorus) the walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,
|
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
|
Tearing the place apart
|
Tearing the place apart
|
|
Down come the chandeliers
|
That lit our cozy little dinners
|
Shattered for ever more - one thing is certain -
|
I'll grow thinner
|
No need to eat with company
|
No need to eat at all I guess
|
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
|
From soup to nuts to aubergine....
|
|
(chorus) the walls they enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling,
|
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
|
Tearing the place apart
|
Tearing the place apart
|
|
Tearing the place apart
|
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
|
Who needs a door at all
|
|
the world can walk in and I'll let them
|
Help yourself to a magazine
|
Help yourself to anything
|
Go and take anything
|
They're only things
|
They're only things
|
They're only things
|
|
It's so easy...
