Eight Miles High

Eight miles high

And when you touch down

You find you're

Stranger than known

Signs in the street

That say where you're goin'

Are somewhere

Just bein' their own

Nowhere is

There warmth to be found

Just those afraid

Of losing their ground

Rain gray town

Known for its sound

In places

Small faces about

Round the squares

Huddled in storms

Some laughin'

Some just shapeless forms

Sidewalk scenes

And black limousines

Some livin'

Some standin' alone

Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high
