Karaoké Invisible Empire KT Tunstall

I thought the candle was gonna go out

The wind was blowing and the door was open

But the candle never went out never went out

The wave found its way to the shore

I thought it was a ripple and nothing more

But the wave found its way all the way to the shore

Oh oh I wanna burn this house

I know I wanna jump into the fire

Oh oh I've got to tear them down

Pinnacles of my invisible empire

I know the gamble never works twice

All the distractions at the table and the weighted dice

But the thrill of it feels so nice you do it all again

But I look to the chips I'd lose

I'm standing on

The platform with my neck in the noose

And I know it's not my time it's not my time

Oh oh I wanna burn this house

I know I wanna jump into the fire

Oh oh I'm gonna tear them down

The pinnacles of my invisible empire

And if I do all the things I do while I tell myself that I'm staying true

No I'll never stop you know I'll never stop

You know I'll never think about it

Put an end to all this time that I would spend with it on my mind

You know it never stopped

You know it never stopped

You know I always wondered about it

I wondered about the wonder oh oh oh oh oh

I wear a rusting crown

I know this dynasty is falling

The crowd shouts for another round to see the ruin the spectacular diamonds buried

Icebergs the minarets and the marketplaces

The signal fires of my invisible empire
