Just Around The Mountain
Appears on: Hopeful Monsters
I've got seventeen seconds and a question of thought
Of the secret war that must be fought
So I'm picking up a ride on a pick up truck
Got my heavy sack, my kit all racked, my job from love
I've got open spaces and open minds
And a sound of slow daggers on the radio
Got a map on the wall, feels of free sensation
And that's all you can afford off a debt-strewn nation
And walls my fall and the sky may fly
Someone might kill you but never say die
It's just around the mountain
Simple birds of paradise
I've got seventeen seconds and a snake of steel
Got an old shirt of triangles, I'm looking for the wheel
They say perfect face of baby blue
But my love for you is dictionary true
So jump the gun and get some fun
You only live forever while living on the run
And let the birds of paradise
Steer you on
I've got seventeen seconds and a question of thought
Of the secret war that must be fought
So I'm picking up a ride on a pick up truck
Got my heavy sack, my kit all racked, my job from love
And what we learn when the table's turned
Of the friends or foes that make the water burn
Cos now the birds of paradise
Are what I yearn
So jump the gun and get some fun
You only live forever while living on the run
And let the birds of paradise
Steer you on
And walls my fall and the sky may fly
Someone might kill you but never say die
It's just around the mountain
Simple birds of paradise
