...from far above the clouds

[Simon Bar Sinister]

[verse 1]

I live seven miles from hell

and I can hear it calling me

foot to the floor, asleep at the wheel

token resistance, my destiny sealed

we're an illusion, but maybe you're real

our one perfect moment, our sentence repealed

on the day I finally hear the bell

and I realize it tolls for me

for wasting my time trying to steal what's free, yeah

for wasting my time trying to steal what's free

[chorus]

The bearer of light now summons me

from far above the clouds

Like a peregrine, I'm diving downward

to the amazement of the crowd

so eager to slip those golden bonds

"you must be very proud"

so find yourself a seat down close, now

and watch me as I fall to the desert floor

from far above the clouds

from far above the clouds

[verse 2]

I didn't save my life today,

but I might have saved part of it

sinking so deep and I didn't care

I gave a few kicks and came up for air

to find some of the pieces still floating there

just none of the ones that we used to share

well, I saw a sticker on some old grey

rusted-out '70s piece of shit

it said, "do unto others and then split", yeah

it said, "do unto others and then split"

[chorus]

[bridge]

I met a girl named Promise somewhere along the way

and I played the doubting Thomas, convinced she'd never stay

but I still saw myself as blameless and this life as just a play

well, back then I was wild and shameless; welcome to my Dies Irae

[verse 3]

someday, this will all be yours

but someday isn't here just yet

I concealed my feelings just like a blade

slashed and burned my way through field and glade

you shagged me and stabbed me and then you bade

fare-thee-well, leaving me a bed unmade

well, I went and changed the locks on all the doors

knowing full well that someday I'll let

you come in from the cold and wet, yeah...I'll let

you come in from the cold and wet

[chorus]
