Letra de
Plateau

La canción Plateau es una pista grabada por la banda de punk rock Meat Puppets. Fue escrita por Curt Kirkwood y es conocida por su versión acústica presentada en el álbum MTV Unplugged in New York de la banda Nirvana, donde los hermanos Curt y Cris Kirkwood se unieron a Kurt Cobain en el escenario. La letra puede interpretarse como una reflexión sobre la búsqueda de significado y logro en un mundo amplio y a menudo desconcertante.

Many a hand have scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, shake the many hands

Nothing on top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared. Who needs action when you got words

Finished with the mop then you can stop and look at what you've done
Plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen and the work, it was fun

Nothing on top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds
See a lot up there but don't be scared. Who needs action when you got words

Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
