The Mountain - Nancy Brick

Shining Mountain, my eyes! Spindrift flying in gusts Slow your pulse Slow your pulse Tall dreams before first light Drift off to snow capped highs Slow your pulse Slow your pulse Slow, my eyes Slow, my eyes

There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet No matter where you live There'll all ways be a few things, maybe several things That you're gonna find really difficult to forgive There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better You'll rise up free and easy on that day And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air Just when that day is coming, who can say? Who can say? Our mother has been absent Ever since we founded Rome But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home We're gonna comandeer the local airwaves To tell the neighbors what's been going on And they will shake their heads and wag their bony fingers In all the wrong directions, and by daybreak, we'll be gone I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim Scope out every angle of unfair advantage I'm gonna bribe the officals, I'm gonna kill all the judges It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage Our mother has been absent Ever since we founded Rome But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home, oh

Brick by brick We build a house And then we broke it down Word for word we ment to hurt And then we killed the sound Well it starts with a joke And then it goes up in smoke And leaves us wandering how And no one knows that's all she wrote Well at least for now We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love And brick by brick we build a house In this crazy town And word for word you make love or get hurt I won't back down And it starts with a kiss Did it end up like this Shit I'm running round It goes to show you never will know What life's about what life's about We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here Stone by stone we make a home Just to?? maybe for a while Close together and still alone It's quite the life or quite a lie Oh we're building a wall right before our eyes Close together and still alone We're building a fire To warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Cause nothing here is ever good enough for ya We're building a fire Warm up in it's arms Flames are the layers Nothing here is ever good enough for ya Building a fire here We warm up in it's arms Tears are like diamonds Nothing here is ever good enough Nothing here is ever good enough for love Nothing here is ever good enough good enough for love
