High Ground

I'm sitting here on this island of doubt
Contaminated sea of fools is all about
Don't waste your time looking for me
I'm sitting up here in this apple tree
Oh lord what have I done
It's too late the damage is done
I'm looking for high ground
I want some high ground
I'm looking for some high ground
I want some high ground
Water water everywhere
Not a drop, no drop to spare
If I'm not right call me a liar
The tree of knowledge is catching fire
Oh lord what have we done
Two billion people all on the run
Looking for high ground
I want some high ground
Looking for high ground
I need some high ground
