I went up to the mountain high,
and stole the stars from a crow black sky,
but I returned on a wheel of fire,
and I found nothing changed
I rode out to the high frontier,
and spoke some words that I felt sincere,
now everybody keeps on comin' round here,
sayin' "Where have you been?" and "Can I shake your hand?"
I could never work out,
what they wanted to know.
they would and push and shout,
sayin' "where did you go?"
"..in those moments alone?"
I went down to the road tonight,
the desert bathed in pale moonlight,
and for a moment, well it looked just like,
a tranquil place I'd known,
many summers ago,
I could never work out,
what they wanted from me,
some secret no doubt,
only I could reveal,
"tell me how did it feel?"
now all the world is hungry,
for things that I cannot revere,
but I remember when they,
held aloft that engineer
I went down to the Spend and Save,
the heavens opened like judgement day,
their eyes were fixed on the bright displays,
and they did not hear the thunder,
and they did not stop to wonder,
I could never work out,
what they wanted to know.
they would and push and shout,
sayin' "where did you go?",
"and what were you shown?",
"..in those moments alone?"
