Knock it down
Take it away
We've got work tearin' down this place
Take it away, Take it away, Take it away
Here's the room where they laid awake through a complicated night
He was starin' at the wall and she cried and cried and cried
Under a roof that held the real rain out and covered up the sound
He built her every wall and we have to tear it down
Knock it down
Take it away
We've got work tearin' down this place
Built for a ghost
Haunted by love
Left to decay
Knock it down
Take it away
We've got work tearin' down this place
Take it away, Take it away, Take it away
Here's the door he would walk right out on an undecided night
He was spellin' out her name in the artificial lights
Through this window she could see her man, starin' at the town
He built her every wall and we have to tear it down
Knock it down
Take it away
We've got work tearin' down this place
Built for a ghost
Haunted by love
Left to decay
Knock it down
Take it away
We've got work tearin' down this place
Take it away, Take it away, Take it away
