lyrics

won't you make me a mountain
won't you raise me a peak
stop digging valleys
stop drilling mines
& run thru the forest and reach above the tree line

i want to feel the fire inside of me
like the molten guts of vesuvius
i want my life force to flow fast and cold
like runoff from glaciers capped with snow

but we live in the city so we'll ride on the metro tonight
drown under electric light
that made the moon go blind
swimming in electric light
that made the moon go blind

we'll sign our names on the factory walls
like we tattoo in ink upon our arms
try to break the ties that bind
for to reclaim this night

now in the back of my mind i wanna let lie
the empty useless shell of this great disguise

i wanna leave my apartment abandoned
next to at sell off lot full of cars and trucks all rusted up
make them homes for birds of prey
i'm gonna make me a home somewhere someday

we are such clever wolves
we've got our jackets
we've got gallons of spray paint

with patches for our clothes
with heavy rocks to throw
thru the windowpanes
it's time we embraced the rain

won't you meet me at the mountain
race me to the peak
we'll look out on valleys and the
sea's blue beyond

where the moon pulls the tides
and rests its weary eyes.
