IVORY TOWER (written by Barry Shank)
(The Long Ryders with Gene Clark)


My friend lives in an ivory tower, she's protected from misery
She doesn't worry she's got power, she controls all she sees
But her blinders work too well, she don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late, that ivory tower's falling down

She strolls down the rose lined lane, with her thoughts up in the air
Though she never has known pain, yet she still admits she cares
But her blinders work too well, she don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late, that ivory tower's falling down

Still you gotta be careful what you say to her
Still you gotta be careful what you say to her
Still her blinders work too well, she don't listen when you try to tell her
It's too late, that ivory tower's falling down
It's too late, that ivory tower's falling down
It's too late, that ivory tower's falling down
