Top Of The Earth
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.
picture yourself
top of the earth
a foot in cement
a flag in the dirt
picture the world
forgetting to turn
we smack the sun
you're the first
to burn
picture the galaxy
scattering
blood, sand and soil
and cheap motor oil
our union
our movement
our greatest high
the shit we die for
picture the shooting sky
as we fall in the snow
picture the fire and wind
as we crawl to the ocean
picture yourself
top of the earth
a head in the clouds
a hand in rebirth
i picture your face
i picture you naked
i picture it soon
we melt to the moon
