People live above you, Postured like a totem, Runnin' up some stairs oh, Vertical is might
Stalling on a nose and, Places to propose in, Seeing everything from, Vertical is light
Diamonds of the sky on, Black and endless background, Reaching out to grab them, Vertical at night
My imagination, Reaches to forever, Like an endless tower, So vertical I write
{Pre-Chorus}
So high and still it sends a feeling through me
(Oh up above me falling over)
Breathe in the the air goes through a system that is
(down below me working steady)
A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun
(Single holly finches calling)
Come find me floating up if you should find me gone
(Nice and breezy spirits easy)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
x4
For me, for me, for me
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
At the tips of cities, Birds are tracing columns, Windows bend in wind, Vertical in flight
Down below a statue, People stand in poses, Making good impressions, Vertical delights
Lying on a trunk, And waiting to be dreaming, Startled by a thumpin, Vertical insight
Lots of people thinkin, Thinking about falling, Nothing but a rope so, Vertical hold tight
{Pre-Chorus}
Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you
(Heavy folders daring soldiers)
I start to wonder does this system matter?
(Crumbling boulder couldn't hold her)
Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home
(Ancient maples empty stables)
Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome
(Natures diet finding quiet)
My feet can't cross the parking lot
The parking lot is way too hot
x8
The parking lot is way too hot
x8
