Pyramid Lyrics
Tell me, Margaret
What is coming down this river?
You’ve been watching so much longer now than I
Do you know, Margaret
Just what will this day deliver
Does it work out tooth for tooth and eye for eye?
They started stacking up the stones
The very day that you were born
No matter how you grew
They would tower above you
You could change your name
Move all the way to sunny California
But when you start your life anew
Does that long shadow follow you?
Who was it, Margaret
That chose to resurrect you here for me
In scattered lines of poetry
This distant, wistful girl I see reflected in your eyes?
Forgive me, Margaret
All the ways I am mistaken
All the liberties I’ve taken
I’ve projected you in costumes
I don’t think were quite your size
Now here I’m climbing up these stones
A hundred years from where you were born
Looking for a song
That could take me to you
I have traced these roads, drove past your home
In Burbank, California
But you were not inside
You’ve found a better place to hide

And tell me, Margaret
When I’m gone, what will I want?--
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin
Or dusted off and pulled up onto stage?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will I say, "Leave me in my pyramid!
Blow out the flame and close the lid!
This story’s done, why don’t we turn the page?"
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin
To be left at the bottom of a garbage bin
"Leave me in my pyramid!"
"Leave me in my pyramid!"
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
"Leave me in my pyramid!"
"Leave me in my pyramid!"
Will it please me when someone lights a candle and says my name?
