Stratosphere (i wrote it on helium)Hang-gliding the wind That cliff drops off so quick No matter how long you prepare yourself That jump shoots your heart up in your mouth Just spit it up Don't look down And keep your eyes on the horizon Shift your weight your hips will guide you Earth and Stratosphere behind soon You'll disappear It's a bird's-eye view from here I see how small we all appear And that deep impacted crater my love through at her Now I'm a distance star fading I'm lightyears from earth From that cold midwest Contrast to New Orleans Intense humidity That's landlocked in sobriety Heat interferes But I'm learning Adaptive behavior Expansion Friction My relativity to the sun As oxygen thins out into Unbreathable air My lungs will soon repair themselves As I'm adjusting To changing elevations Heighth Turns the air into helium I'm a balloon in the shape of a body Tie my wrists up in a knot I won't burst until it gets to Hot for you to touch And keep your eyes on the horizon Shift your weight your hips will guide you Earth and Stratosphere behind soon You'll disappear She'll disappear. . . |
