lyrics

View From Somewhere
(A. Kheir/ I. Macleod)

Streets full of brick houses
All the same
runk coming home
Stumbles on his trail
Just another day
Just another picture
Just another night
Just another abyss

There is a font of
Acute perception
Trying to define its vessel
Stream into its channel

But it all quietly comes down
In the peace of this
Lack of consciousness
In the unfolding of this absurd
In the view from somewhere
In the view from somewhere

There was once you
Who decided it was time
Time to bridge the street
Bridge the street with the world
With the world inside
But you will know

That it all quietly come down
In the peace of this
Lack of consciousness
In the unfolding of this absurd
In the view from somewhere
In the view from somewhere

I am high
I see nobody
And nobody sees me
There is a truth
In the view from somewhere
There is a peace
In the view from somewhere
