Tearing the Place Apart Songtext

von Sparks

It's so easy

Tearing the place apart
I'm getting rid of every memory
I don't know where to start
So many memories all around me
Now that you've gone to someone else
Give me a reason I should keep, a world that is acres deep,
In what you touched, in what you saw, in what you were

It's so easy

Tearing the place apart
Each square of vinyl that you stepped on
Pulled up and thrown away
And burned with linen that we slept on
All my collections out they go
Stamps of all nations where we'd been
And we had been everywhere
They're ripped in two
They're ripped in four
They're in the wind

It's so easy

The walls that enclosed us they're crumbling, they're crumbling,
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart
Down come the chandeliers
That lit our cozy little dinners
Shattered for ever more
One thing is certain
I'll grow thinner
No need to eat with company
No need to eat at all I guess
Away go the cabinets, so fully stocked
From soup to nuts to aubergine

The walls that enclosed us they're crumbling, they're tumbling
I'm stumbling, I'm crumbling
Tearing the place apart
Tearing the place apart

Tearing the place apart
I'll rip the doors off with the hinges
Who needs a door at all
The world can walk in and I'll let them
Help yourself to a magazine
Help yourself to,well, anything
Go and take anything
They're only things
They're only things
They're only things

It's so easy
