Lyrics for The Build Up

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