The Build Up Lyrics

The song The Build Up is performed by Kings of Convenience in the album named Riot on an Empty Street in the year 2004 .



The build up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long

Our hero withdrew
When there was two
He could not choose one
So there was none

Worn into
The vaguely announced
Worn into
The vaguely announced

The spin top made a sound
Like a train across the valley
It faded, oh, so quiet
But constant 'til it pa*sed

Over the ridge to the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
When to get off

The spin top made a sound
Like a train across the valley
And faded, so quiet
But constant 'til it pa*sed

Over the ridge to the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off

The spin top made a sound
Like a train across the valley
It faded, oh, so quiet
But constant 'til it pa*sed

Over the ridge into the distances
Written on your ticket
To remind you where to stop
When to get off

When to get off
When to get off
When to get off
