Another dreamy summer dog day afternoon
running short of life from chasing after you
people scamper by, all avert their eyes and walk away

Building blocks of mountains hidden in your soul
and script a poem for you while I'm all alone
Thoughts that can't be stopped, my fingers hammer drop and type away

Baby I'm in space when I'm with you
Floating around nothing to do
maybe we can take a walk on the moon

Saw you look around to see who plays the game
And wishing I had spoken all I had to say
Through your squinted eyes you see through my disguise

Minions winding by and speeding down he road
Trees arms line the street while my arms wait below
Hope you'll fall inside and lay beside and float away

Baby I'm in space when I'm with you
Floating around nothing to do
maybe we can take a walk on the moon

Baby I'm in space when I'm with you
Floating around nothing to do
maybe we can take a walk on the moon

When I was young I lived atop a mountain oh so high
It was built of ivory bricks and glass and towered in the sky
I lived above my brother and beside my father too
But they hardly ever saw me as I hung out on the roof
And I looked out on the city and the taxi cabs below
I would cherish that I had this little place to call my own
Well I thought I knew the future of the mountains in my range
If the future taught me anything the past can never change

Well I sit atop this city blowing smoke rings in the sky
With the twin peaks looming way above the place where I get high
And 10 million heads below me on an island I call mine
But we all find away to share it while we avoid each others eyes
But the truth is that these people are as much my family
As we share a love for mountains that are circled by the sea
While I look upon the city that I’ve grown to call my own
No matter where this journey takes me this place will always be my home

Whooooo-oooah
Sitting on a mountain top, fifteen miles above the city
Whooooo-oooah
Sitting in this melting pot where you can see the future with me
