Towers Tumble Lyrics - Sting

( Mike Howlett ) 

Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled 

Volcanoes rumbled 

Insurance salesman mumbled 

Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled 

Politicians fumbled 

Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout 

It was a chart - it was a card 

And those are your instructions 

And what he offered in his hand 

It was a diagram - master plan 

A secret plan for your deduction

Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter 

While the drums just clatter 

Your silken raiment's tatter 

While all the poets chatter - "Oh, it doesn't matter" 

Please ignore the latter 

Settle back you're growing fatter 

Oh you know you've got no conception 

Well, you're far out in space 

I see you trying to trace a design 

Of your heart on the stars 

Photos 

On the open ocean - like an open book 

See the feeble fumble for a better look 

See the sheep shake 

In their sleep wake 

Not an earthquake 

Or a death wake 

And all the while - through the testing and the trials 

She smiles 

Eternity smiles...
