Mandolin Orange - That Wrecking Ball lyrics

rate me

I’ve taken to leanin' these past few days

A little too heavy on my walking cane

Cause I’m afraid she’s swinging my way

That wrecking ball

Now with all my ducks in a row

With one pull I can let 'em go

Not to loose

Just to show

I could catch 'em all

And every man bears a burden

His own beast by the horns

That he hides from the world

When he’s young and strong

Looking over his shoulder

Half tethered and torn

Still standing tall

Every hero is on like a runaway train

Every beast grows stronger

As the pendulum swings, to and fro

And all she goes

That wrecking ball

Instrumental

I‘ve just seen that rock of ages

I've just held my savior’s hand

We just danced on the water

With my head on her shoulders

She swore to never let me fall

And when time seems so kindly

If every bright-eyed girl could be more like you

And shelter me

From that wrecking ball

That wrecking ball
