Lonely at the Top

It's lonely at the top Of that upside down mountain Watch the sunrise from a window, this room If the paramedics stop The soul goes on without them In a wicker basket tied to a balloon There are no boundaries to love The heart can't comprehend the panorama I took it on the chin From some secondhand feeling Sorrow handed down To me it felt brand new Tiny violins or some summer insects listening Another season leaving us too soon Freedom's the opposite of love You'll never keep it through the paranoia Standing on the edge Of a million landscapes emptying The water from the glacier fills my shoes Laying in your bed My dreams are sex and violence I chase the rapist chasing after you There is no dignity in love Trade every scrap to get some absolution Until then I'm walking out the door Until then I'm running through the airport Until then I'm waiting 'round for no one
