[Verse 1]
Well, my Gfriends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm Ccrazy for love, but I'm not coming Gon
I'm just Dpaying my rent everyCday in the Tower of GSong
[Verse 2]
I Gsaid to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I Chear him coughing all night Glong
A Dhundred floors above me Cin the Tower of GSong
[Verse 3]
I was Gborn like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And Ctwenty-seven angels from the great beGyond
They Dtied me to this table right Chere in the Tower of GSong
[Verse 4]
So you can Gstick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm Cstanding by the window where the light is Gstrong
They don't Dlet a woman kill you, Cnot in the Tower of GSong
[Verse 5]
Now you can Gsay that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channels
In the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a Cmighty judgment coming, but I may be Gwrong
You see, you Dhear these funny voices Cin the Tower of GSong
[Bridge]
  EmI see you standing on the Dother side, I Emdon't know how the river Dgot so wide
I Cloved you, baby, way back Gwhen
And all the Embridges are burning that we Dmight've crossed, but I Emfeel so close to everyDthing that we lost
We'll Cnever, we'll never have to lose it aDgain
[Verse 6]
I Gbid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be Chearing from me, baby, long after I'm Ggone
I'll be Dspeaking to you sweetly from a Cwindow in the Tower of GSong
[Verse 7]
Yeah, my Gfriends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm Ccrazy for love, but I'm not coming Gon
I'm just Dpaying my rent everyCday in the Tower of GSong

They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
