Hello, this is me to you It's better now we're comin' through And I don't really know just who we are I'll stay here till my love's full up So stir this cocktail, shake me up Drink me down and take me from the bar We'll build a foundation Build a foundation Build a foundation You know we got to build, build it up Spent the night in Tumbledown A hundred miles from west of town Plans were laid, no compromise was made Gently up to meet the blue Left a note and signed it "True" Those construction games were all we played We'll build a foundation Build a foundation Build a foundation Yeah we're gonna build, build it up Oh, I know you're gonna give your best So more or less, gotta put it to the test Don't you know, you've got the whole world in your hands Surrender up and lay down your arms The fightin' hurts but the lovin' calms Oh, I know you've got the whole world in your hands We'll build a foundation Build a foundation Build a foundation You know we got to build, build it up We'll build a foundation Build a foundation, build it up Build a foundation, build it up You know we got to build ...

The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes For me, I'm your sorrow Calling in your dreams For me, I'm your shadow Howling in the streets
