men-an-tol

Singer:levellers

so i find myself among

the brave southwestern hills

running like a madman on the moor

let the sweet atlantic rain

wash away my youth

the men-an-tol shone strangely in the storm

i get the strangest feeling

in the air around

it's more than just a feeling

a different way of seeing

a different kind of life

something i believe in

but in amongst the city lights

the feeling's not so clear

neon lights and faceless signs

hide what i hold dear

it's there to find if you have the mind

and you don't live in fear of it

i rest amongst what still remains

lives that passed before

lightning strikes the top of zennor tor

i find myself amazed again

at man's pathetic score

years of knowledge wasted and ignored

i get the strangest feeling

in the air around

it's more than just a feeling

a different way of seeing

a different kind of life

something i believe in

here amongst the city lights

the feeling's not so clear

faceless towers with neon signs

hide what i hold dear

it's there to find if you have the mind

and you don't live in fear of it

here amongst the city lights

the feeling's not so clear

faceless towers with neon signs

hide what i hold dear

it's there to find if you have the mind

and you don't live in fear of it

a different way of seeing

a different kind of life

something i believe in
