Build Me a Mountain (Rough Mix 1968) lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
The highest cave was yours, not mine
The biggest slave was yours
My admiration's on the wane
Is this your dying day?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The highest cave was yours, not mine
The biggest slave was yours
My admiration's on the wane
Is this your dying day?

[Chorus]
Build me a mountain
That I may see the sky
Build me a tunnel
That I may see the world
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The highest cave was yours, not mine
The biggest slave was yours
My admiration's on the wane
Is this your dying day?

[Chorus]
Build me a mountain
That I may see the sky
Build me a tunnel
That I may see the world
