The Build Up Lyrics

The Build Up lyrics

( Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street LP )







Erik Glambek :







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 







Feist :







The spinning top



Made a sound



Like a train



Across the valley 



Fading



Oh so quiet



But constant 'til it passed 



Over the ridge



Into the distances 



Written on your ticket



To remind you where to stop 



And when to get off







The spinning top



Made a sound



Like a train



Across the valley 



Fading



Oh so quiet



But constant 'til it passed 



Over the ridge



Into the distances 



Written on your ticket



To remind you where to stop 



And when to get off







The spinning top



Made a sound



Like a train



Across the valley 



Fading



Oh so quiet



But constant 'til it passed 



Over the ridge



Into the distances 



Written on your ticket



To remind you where to stop 



And when to get off



When to get off



When to get off



When to get off
