Icehouse - Walls Lyrics

Listen
If you listen you will hear
A reckless heartbeat, on the inside
Through the walls this sound is crawling
Down the corridors and halls, it cracks the ceiling, the windows and the doors

Well the rest won't listen though the walls have ears, but they never really look they just stand and stare, they're all standing staring at the walls

(Chorus)
Who put the writing on the walls
Will no one ever know
Oh ho and I don't mind the walls

Tell me, why don't you tell me
Have you got nothing to say
Tell me where in hell this place is
Tell me why I get no answers
Am I talking, talking to the walls
So it's running, jumping, standing still, I think I've had enough of it all, get your hands up, up against the wall

(Repeat Chorus)

(The following lyrics are sung in a round)
I'm never going back to the factory
I will never be a part of the machinery
(Repeat 8 times)

(Repeat Chorus)

Who put the writing on the walls
Who fights and runs away
The minutes and the hours pass him tracing out the days
The days and nights drag into years
And no one ever knows
Oh ho and I don't mind the walls
Oh ho and I don't mind the walls

I don't mind the walls
