The Build Up Lyrics - Riot On An Empty Street - Kings Of Convenience

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 spin top made a sound 

Like a train across the valley 

It faded, oh, so quiet 

But constant 'til it passed 

Over the ridge to the distances 

Written on your ticket 

To remind you where to stop 

When to get off 

The spin top made a sound 

Like a train across the valley 

And faded, so quiet 

But constant 'til it passed 

Over the ridge to the distances 

Written on your ticket 

To remind you where to stop 

And when to get off 

The spin top made a sound 

Like a train across the valley 

It faded, 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
