Build Me A Mountain - Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks

Do you have champagne in your dreams?

Where do you dine with kings and queens?

The chauffeur dresses you in lace

Where have you put your plastic face?

The highest cave was yours, not mine

The biggest slave was yours

My admiration’s on the wane

Is this your dying day?

The curtain falls, the lights go out

You move, you think, you talk, you shout

The portrait stares, your eyes fight back

The magic wand brings all you lack

The highest cave was yours, not mine

The biggest slave was yours

My admiration’s on the wane

Is this your dying day?

Build me a mountain that I may see the sky

Build me a tunnel that I may see the world

The ball’s begun, the champagne’s flat

The music swings, they do The Jack

The vultures scream, a storm’s ahead

The ball is over: you are dead

The highest cave was yours, not mine

The biggest slave was yours

My admiration’s on the wane

Is this your dying day?

Build me a mountain that I may see the sky

Build me a tunnel that I may see the world
