Lonely at the Top
[Verse 1]
It's lonely at the top of that upside mountain
Watch the sunrise from a windowless room
If the paramedics stall, the soul goes on
Without them, in a wicker basket tied to a balloon
[Chorus]
There are no boundaries to love
The heart can't comprehend the panorama
[Verse 2]
I took it on the chin from some second-hand feeling
Sorrow handed down to me, it felt brand new
Tiny violins or some summer insects listening
Another season leaving us too soon
[Chorus]
Freedom's the opposite of love
You'll never keep it through the paranoia
[Verse 3]
I'm standing on the edge of a million landscapes
Emptyin' 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
[Chorus]
There is no dignity in love
Trade every scrap to get some absolution
[Outro]
Till then, I'm walking out the door
Till then, I'm running through the airport
Till then, I'm waiting 'round for no one
It's lonely at the top of that upside mountain
Watch the sunrise from a windowless room
If the paramedics stall, the soul goes on
Without them, in a wicker basket tied to a balloon
[Chorus]
There are no boundaries to love
The heart can't comprehend the panorama
[Verse 2]
I took it on the chin from some second-hand feeling
Sorrow handed down to me, it felt brand new
Tiny violins or some summer insects listening
Another season leaving us too soon
[Chorus]
Freedom's the opposite of love
You'll never keep it through the paranoia
[Verse 3]
I'm standing on the edge of a million landscapes
Emptyin' 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
[Chorus]
There is no dignity in love
Trade every scrap to get some absolution
[Outro]
Till then, I'm walking out the door
Till then, I'm running through the airport
Till then, I'm waiting 'round for no one
