Lyrics
2nd Floor
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.
If you want to see two circling swans
On the surface of the sewer pond
Don't crane your neck where you are
You've got to climb to the second floor
And i wouldn't've even mentioned it
If you didn't seem so tuned into it
You've got to climb the second floor
Short chore great reward
I'm in the east but i'm looking west
When i'm facing north
The big huge valley's to my left
Horizon holds three great slag heaps
Piercing the sky like the pyramids at giza
I wouldn't make so much of it
If i didn't know you truly loved it
You've got to climb the second floor
Short chore great reward
