lyrics

Page one, Chapter You
The damsel meets the suave gumshoe
but he's the one stuck in the tower
losing his faith by the hour
Will the damsel risk rescue
Are you someone she could get to...
Mmmmm

Scene two, Chapter You
Our heroine with much to lose
She knows she's gonna make the climb
One craving for you at a time
But is it worth the climb at all
Not every tower's meant to fall...
Mmmmm

CHORUS #1:
I can look down
without losing my balance
but you're so tightly wound
you can't yet take a chance and
when this chapter's closed
where does your damsel go

Same tale, Chapter You
Cut to where our stuck gumshoe
is pacing floors, is waiting for
some messenger to shake his core
but when the damsel reaches you
will you be ready, reaching too...
Mmmmm

CHORUS #2:
I can look down
without losing my balance
but you're so tightly wound
you can't yet take a chance and
are we ready for new negotiations
If paper covers stone
do damsels leave alone

CHORUS #3:
I can look down
without losing my balance
but you're so tightly wound
you can't yet take a chance
and are we ready for new negotiations
or should last pages read
"Hello, congratulations.
You set your gumshoe free.
Turn now to Chapter Me."

Set your gumshoe free
Turn now to Chapter Me
