Lyrics
Mountains in Kauai Make me feel so lowly Cower at their power Vertical I like Dizzy under buildings Bending like their willing Is it what I'm seeing Vertical is fright Hard to gain perspective Often it's perplexing Reaching for a record Vertical is sight Hanging on a pylon Dropping from a million Jumping hill to hill on Vertical is height People live above you Postured like a totem Runnin' up some stairs oh Vertical is might Stalling on a nose and Places to propose in Seeing everything from Vertical is light Diamonds of the sky on Black and endless background Reaching out to grab them Vertical at night My imagination Reaches to forever Like an endless tower Vertical I write So high and still it sends a feeling through me (Oh up above me falling over) Suddenly not vertical Breathe in the air the goes through a system that is (Down below me working steady) Weary when it's vertical A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun (Ingle holly Finches calling Very lovely vertical Come find me floating up if you should find me gone (Nice and Breezy Spirits easy) Did you hear a child say? My feet can't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot Then everything went vertical At the tips of cities Birds are tracing columns Windows bend in wind Vertical in flight Down below a statue People stand in poses Making good impressions Vertical delights Lying on a trunk And waiting to be dreaming Startled by a thumpin Vertical insight Lots of people thinkin Thinking about falling Nothing but a rope so Vertical hold tight Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you Heavy folders Daring soldiers Crashing from the vertical I start to wonder does this system matter? Crumbling boulder Couldn't hold her Only if it's vertical Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home (Ancient maples Empty stables) Can't always be vertical Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome Natures diet Finding quiet They don't hear the child say My feet won't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot The everything went vertical
