Lyrics
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, it looks so good from here
Living out a dream I've had for a year
Living out a dream I've had
On 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, it 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 moved 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've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask
Oh, hidden from view
The place that we came from, how I miss
Those elegant lines
And the sun on the blinds that beckoned me down here
From what I know now are sunnier climes
And everything, it 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 moved 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've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask
I never knew that I had been here before
The running through the houses, the breaking down doors
No matter where you go, they'll follow you
Follow you, follow you
I was sure I'd moved 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've nothing more to say to you
So please don't ever ask
