Hyperballad

We live on a mountain,

Right at the top.

There's a beautiful view

From the top of the mountain.

Every morning, I walk towards the edge

And throw little things off

Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery,

whatever I find lying around.

It's become a habit;

A way

To start the day.

I go through all this

Before you wake up,

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this

Before you wake up,

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you.

It's early morning;

No-one is awake.

I'm back at my cliff

Still throwing things off.

I listen to the sounds they make

On their way down.

I follow with my eyes 'till they crash;

imagine what my body would sound like

Slamming against those rocks.

When it lands

Will my eyes

Be closed or open?

I go through all this

Before you wake up,

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this

Before you wake up,

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you.

I go through all this

Before you wake up,

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you.

Safe up Safe up Safe up here with you

Safe up Safe up Safe up here with you

Safe up Safe up
