Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain I was chasing my Teresa around the tree We were kicking precious stones Sinking ships and swimming home Only crazy for the comfort of our clothes Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain My Teresa dragged a rag across my brow She said, "the weather's never failed The wind can only blow your hair" And I believed her well enough but didn't care Everyone knows and they don't know Chandelier light ain't love It just watches the time go Across the marble floor Out the order mail door Even rain can hear it running off the road Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain My Teresa threw me kisses through the core We read the writing on the wall Braced each other for the fall There's only one way off the mountain after all Well, my father built a mansion on the mountain It was me and my Teresa against the world We took all the river had to give Broke the bed and bought a grill But left the mountain mansion, nothing to forget
