When the house was standing

You'd never have believed it

When the house was standing

You'd never have believed

The bricks and mortar

Have all given way

At first they resisted but then they began to sway

How can you say forever is at your command

How can you say the future's in the palm

In the palm of your hand

When the house was standing

You'd never have believed it

When the house was standing

You'd never have believed

That gaping hole was once a foundation

Where you stand now were tools in the basement

How can you say forever is at your command

How can you say the future

Is in the palm

The palm of your hand
