Al Stewart - Blow Your Mansion Down

Al Stewart - Blow Your Mansion Down



There's a sign in the distance


In the hollywood hills


And it's calling the faithful to come


And you know that they will


See the pied piper standing up in the limousine shine


Saying here is your ticket just go to the end of the lineBut if you get off this train


You never gonna get back on again


And if you get out of this car


I don't believe you're ever gonna get too far


And if you should leave me now


Sudden wind will blow your mansion down


Just blow it downI said hey wait a minute


Do you mind if we talk


Though your company's surely a thrill I believe I might walk


Cause there's a crash on the freeway behind and lots of traffic ahead


Could we meet later on I don't think so was all that you said


And if you get off this train


You never gonna get back on again


And if you get out of this car


I don't believe you're ever gonna get too far


And if you should leave me now


Sudden wind will blow your mansion down


Just blow it down


Left him a kind old hand and I was waving goodbye


And the melted away in a smile fading into the sky


But it seemed that I heard them as the night came tumblin' in


They were having a party and somebody started to sing


If you get off this train


You never gonna get on board again


And if you get out of this car


I don't believe you're ever gonna get too far


And if you should leave me now


Sudden wind will blow your mansion down


Just blow it down
