Is it lonely at the top of the world
Familiar but somehow removed
The neighbors start to see it as strange
Carved out like a pumpkin
Long crooked teeth
Digging through the cracks somewhere underneath
It's eating at the floor
The dream that we shape at the top of the world
And how long before we melt and bend our shape
And what's worse if I can't recognize this place
(We're leaving)
For what it's worth you're my life you're my starling
My hands are tied my feet are sure enough to run
We're at the top of the world
We're at the top of the world
I'm no longer just a fly on the wall
I take part in thick swarm
And the threat that's swelling out of my side
Rainbowish streams feed a pipeline
It's dripping down the walls
Scaring out the bugs in these motel halls
The portal in my room
We dream of a lake to flood the top of the world
And how long before we melt and bend our shape
And what's worse if I can't recognize this place
(We're leaving)
For what it's worth you're my life you're my starling
My hands are tied my feet are sure enough to run
We're at the top of the world
We're at the top of the world
At the top of the world there's a lukewarm view
Where the sun might collapse
It was just me and you
Standing on the edge
The lightning that we chase
Poke through the sky and float off into space
At the top of the world
Buried under rocks
Two tiny feet wearing mismatched socks
But the rush was wrong
Something isn't right
It shouldn't feel this good to hide
