Lyrics
University Hill
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And when they come
To round us up
To gather us up
Shadow and air
I'll think of you
Standing there
Lovely in the light
And when they come
To bag us up
To make the world
Invisible
Oh man, it already is
Pretty as a picture
But pretty as a picture is halfway there
A fortress of solitude's no contest when you stare at oblivion
The game is rigged in every direction
You play to win not a goddamn thing
You climb the walls, you're made of string
You climb the walls, you're made of string
You climb the walls, you're made of string
And pretty as a picture means halfway there
Your fortress of solitude's no contest when you're staring at oblivion
So when they come
To hack us up
Arms, legs, mouth, eyes
Used to be so nice
Used to be such a thrill
Come on, University Hill
Come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on, come on, University Hill
(It's called love)
Come on
