Well a funny thing happened to me today   When the bells of the cathedral began to play   Heard them play out of time or a different tune   You'd better strap me tight to the mast      No beggars on the street asking for money   I can't hear the sirens as they're flashing by me   Nothing's going to slow the pace of my stride   As I move towards the siren of another kind      Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me      I want to tear it down brick by brick   'Til all that is left is the patron saint   Of a city that I used to call my home   Strap me tight to the mast, anchor me      Brick by brick reveals my guardian saint   Her eyes puffed up with worry   Or too much drink   Well I believe in things that don't exist   It was, it is, it will be... It was, it is...   When you step between the pillars of a dream      Anchor me, anchor me, anchor me
