The Build-Up Lyrics
[Intro: Kings of Convenience]
The build-up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long
Our hero withdrew
When there was two
He couldn't choose one
So there was none
[Bridge: Kings of Convenience]
Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced
[Outro: Feist]
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 a ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
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 a ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
When to get off
When to get off
When to get off
The build-up
Lasted for days
Lasted for weeks
Lasted too long
Our hero withdrew
When there was two
He couldn't choose one
So there was none
[Bridge: Kings of Convenience]
Worn into the vaguely announced
Worn into the vaguely announced
[Outro: Feist]
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 a ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
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 a ticket
To remind you where to stop
And when to get off
When to get off
When to get off
When to get off
