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

When to get off

When to get off

When to get off
