lyrics

Mountaintop
V1
I've got this mountaintop, Saved for folk singers,
Hopeless gents, and soulful sinners.
They carry tunes, fill balloons,
With hot air.
The field's ablaze, the grass is yellow,
Copperheads say their hellos.
Bring you sleep, their soul to keep with your blood.
C1
It's a friendly face that always looks you straight,
In the middle of your head.
And we'll take two steps back, and take you through the rain,
That's the help that you get.
V2
I got this mountaintop, for folk singers,
Soulful gents, and hopeless sinners.
They carry tunes, in cheap balloons,
In the air.
This field's ablaze, the grass is yellow,
Sitting back, and feeling mellow.
Forgot my sleep, and soul to keep in the sun.
C1
It's a friendly face that always looks you straight,
In the middle of your head.
And we'll take two steps back, and take you through the rain,
That's the help that you get.
