I'm high in a flat
Overlooking your Town
Im waiting for that non existent
service to roll Round
Im watching the rooves
From the 33rd Floor
Over to the Green and purple
hills of the ----- shore
...I see through your walls
...To a communal hall
And in this city of the free
You can come and stay with me
And you can look but you won't see, you won't see
I'm high in a flat
On a dying estate
Waiting for my disproportionae fears to dissipate
The window is wide
The comfort is cold
Somewhere in the local ----- stairwell rides my soul
I see through your door
You're grasping at her
You took me in and was my friend
We never came out here again
I'll repay you in the end
I'm high in a flat
Overlooking your town
I'm waiting for the towers of ----- to come down
And nothing is real
And no-one comes near
I'll meet you in the air between the Straton(?) atmosphere
I look in you eyes
I take you to fly(?)
And you can say I told you so
To all your neighbours down below
But we'll be gone and they won't know
If anyone has any ideas about the missing lyrics, please let me know,
or if anyone knows the guitar break in the middle that is pretty cool.
