Oh, look at the view

Look at the people running, They've so much to do

Better than you

Better than take what's coming, Nothing's ever new



And everything that looks so good from here

Living out a dream I've had for a year

Living out a dream I've had



Oh, the avenue

They're taking the trees down, And they're asking me and you

What can we do?

We can stand in a circle, Paying tribute with paper and glue



And everything that looks so good from here

Living out a dream I've had for a year

Living out a dream I've had



I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask



Oh, hidden from view

The place that we keep from, How I miss those elegant lines

And the sun on the blinds

They beckon me down here, From what I know now are sunnier climbs



And everything that looks so good from here

Living out a dream I've had for a year

Living out a dream I've had



I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask



I never knew that I had been here before

They're running through houses, And breaking down doors

No matter where you go, They'll follow you, follow you, follow you



I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last

We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past

I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass

But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask
