we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things offlike:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying aroundit's become a habit
a wayto start the dayI go through all this
before you wake upso I can feel happier
to be safe up here with youit's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they makeon their way downI follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocksand when it lands
will my eyes be closed or open?
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
