The metallic orange street lights, hung above these sleeping sidewalks
They stretch far across the night sky, illuminate each city block
Some samba plays out in the distance, car alarms round out the rear
I’ve never been this high before, heavens never felt this near

A walk way past eternity, guarded only by the moons eye
No man can ever harm me, but I’d hate to roll that die
There’s alot of crazy people but there’s only one I fear
I’ve never been this high before heavens never been this near

The air is dark and frosty as it bites against the skin
Say a pray for some ones baby, the bullets weren’t ment for him
Candles gathered by the vigil, a little glow to ward of the fear
I’ve never been this high before heavens never felt this near

The lonely light above my door, like a lighthouse for the soul
It brings me in from out the dark, the dark that swallowed me whole
The veil is lifted from the dome, a little beer a little TV
I’ve never been this high before heavens never felt so real
