Lyrics
My marble steps still hold the heat from the governor's shoe
He said "the foundation is strong," I felt a tremor run straight through
The air-con drips a rhythm on the sweating window glass
Counting the Range Rovers as they slowly, slowly pass
[Chorus]
This pressure mark on my west wall sings a different song
A note for every promise since '93 went wrong
The pressure mark, o
They can't wash away this blood
[Verse 2]
Then she walks in, barefoot on the terrazzo tile

[Chorus]
This pressure mark on my west wall sings a different song
A note for every promise since '93 went wrong
The pressure mark, o
They can't wash away this blood
[Bridge]
You can plaster all the evidence, paint the surface clean
But my pillars remember every single broken scene
[Outro]
One... two... three... the counting never gone.
