lyrics

Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground
Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground

Sell a man a fish and he’ll chew, bite, swallow
But teach a man to fish and you lose five dollars
To tight pockets flow the profits of the actions
Of poor who export bought land for a fraction
River bank to Swiss bank, green grass to green paper
It’s a “dig, drill, cut and flee the scene” caper
There’s youth- soon to be consumed by the rat race
‘til too fat to crawl back through the cash maze
They say: “strive for wealth and get a wage,
And climb enough to buy yourself a better cage
And like the cogs in some great, grey machine
The city teams with lost who nay-say their dreams
And fiend for the weekend and that dim light time
To find the wrong side of the thin white line
Its cut-throat, so don’t get blood on your best tie
And climb, ‘cos the mountain’s the best place (You gotta get) to get high

You gotta get higher than the superman you plan to be amongst the sky

Why do we ask these questions, lessons sold from a burning heart

I can’t depart this party, partly lost and lonely

Parts will slowly fall down out below me; 

All that we know she’s lost amongst the snow

Only the mountains know …

Who would of thought you could change the world now?

When we still live in fake plastic houses
All the trees were cut down around us

Fire through forest burning the doubtless…

Through the night it soundless
Peace through the valley turning the mountains
…
And our love was groundless
Just another entry in the lost and found list

Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground
Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground

Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground
Climbing higher can’t you see you’re falling down

Take your time to, get your feet back on the ground
