Nature's son / We live on a mountain

we live on a mountain / right at the top / there's a beautiful view / from the top of the mountain / every morning i walk towards the edge / and throw little things off like: / car-parts, bottles and cutlery / or whatever i find lying around

it's become a habit / a way / to start the day

i go through this / before you wake up / so i can feel happier / to be safe up here with you

it's real early morning / no-one is awake / i'm back at my cliff / still throwing things off / i listen to the sounds they make / on their way down / i follow with my eyes 'til they crash / imagine what my body would sound like / slamming against those rocks

and when it lands / will my eyes / be closed or open?

i'll go through all this / before you wake up / so i can feel happier / to be safe up here with you
