1Hi everybody! So for an English Class project last year (we had read the Great Gatsby), we had to do something based on one of the background characters. So…I wrote a song from the point of view of Myrtle!
Ivory Tower
I'm looking down through my window
To see you there so perfectly.
But there beside you
Is the one I know I'll never be.
And you're standing there down on the drive with your little wife Daisy
I can't help it and think to myself 'Why couldn't that be me?'
She's the perfect princess swathed in white while I'm buried in the ash.
She pushed me off my ivory tower but I'll make sure that we both crash.
How do you not see me looking?
Maybe you do and just don't care. Give me a sign
Or I'll know you wish I wasn't there.
And you're standing there down on the drive with your little wife Daisy
I can't help it and think to myself 'Why couldn't that be me?'
She's the perfect princess swathed in white while I'm buried in the ash.
She pushed me off my ivory tower but I'll make sure that we both crash.
And you're standing there down on the drive with your little wife Daisy
I can't take it and turn away. That will never be me.
Cuz' she's the perfect princess swathed in white while I'm buried in my ash.
She pushed me off my ivory tower and I know I'm about to…
crash.
