GusGus - Monument Lyrics

When the site was found
We laid the foundations down
It didn't take long
Before they came back tumbling down
Don't build at night
You need a little light
How else are you going to see
What it's gonna be like?

So we picked up our tools
And we worked in the morning light
With the last stone placed
Wasn't it a wonderful sight?
But it fell back down
And scattered all around
Anything passes when you need glasses

My monument, it fell down
My monument, it fell down
My monument, it fell down
My monument, it fell down

Work all of my days for this kind of praise
Work all of my days for this kind of praise
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down
Work all of my days
It fell down
