Lyrics

Stand by your window cause I?m coming ?round
And wear your red dress like the sun going down
My candy lover my my merry-go-round
You're nuclear fission for my Fortress Town

I may be homeless, but I?m not a slave
This town?s gonna die it?s gonna feel some pain
Walls can?t protect you from beauty or rain
I go down like Jericho when I see your face

Cause when I touch you all the walls fall down
Your love is breaking up my Fortress Town
And all of our secrets shout into sound
The river?s coming up to Fortress Town
And when I love you the walls fall down
Our love is breaking up this Fortress Town
My defenses grow weaker under your power
The river?s coming up to Fortress Town

You trust me like a child, and bear nobody hate
Now I am a desert ? an oasis of faith
You?re better than a bomb or political campaign
I'm aloof, I'm afraid, but you love me without shame

You?ve shared your body and you?ve even sold out
Cause you?re only loyal to your higher power
You know the kingdom?s given to love?s sweet devout
To the spies in the shadows of Fortress Town

The river?s coming, the river?s coming
The river?s coming up to fortress town
