They don't care about

You and me

Obviously

No not us

We're the mountain people



So far away from those

Tree lined streets

Look so neat

Not for us

No fat chance

We're the mountain people



They seek us in the valley

They'll seek us on the plain

They own the milk and runny honey

And they're not quite the same



And we

Live together under

Fantasy

Oak trees

In the dark

We make sparks

So unique

We're the mountain people



Curiosity comes to

Plead with me

Vanity

Strangles me

Pulls me

Shakes me down

We're the mountain people



They seek us in the valley

They'll seek us on the plain

They own the milk and runny honey

And they're not quite the same



Because

They don't care about

You and me

Obviously

Hand-me-down

Culture

Waiting for the vulture

Yes-yes-yes

We're the mountain people

Hibernation comes so early

This year

Dig the peat

Pile it high

Let it dry

One last chance at ignorance

No fat chance

We're the mountain people



One short blast was

Followed by

Two longer ones

Short blast

Long blast

Coming for the outcast

Put me in a deep freeze

And I'll sneeze

We're the mountain people



From a distance

I can see them

Pacing

Upstream

Slowly

Ruthlessly

Onwards

Steady

Nets and cages

Open

Ready

Long term memory

Soothes me

Worry

Take me

Break me

Any way you fancy



Deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze, a

Deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze, a

Deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze, a
