paper and glue

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
