Mountain People

They don't care about

You and me, obviously

No not us

We're the mountain people

So far away from those

Tree lined streets

Look so neat, not for us

No fat chance

We're the mountain people

They'll seek us in the valley

They'll seek us on the plain

They own the milk and runny honey

And they're not quite the same

And we live together under

Fantasy, oak trees

In the dark, we make sparks

So unique

We're the mountain people

Curiosity comes to

Plead with me, vanity

Strangles me, pulls me

Shakes me down

We're the mountain people

They'll seek us in the valley

They'll seek us on the plain

They own the milk and runny honey

And they're not quite the same

Because they don't care about

You and me, obviously

Hand-me-down culture

Waiting for the vulture

Yes, yes, yes

We're the mountain people

Hibernation comes so early this year

Dig the peat, pile it high, let it dry

One last chance at ignorance

No fat chance

We're the mountain people

One short blast was followed by

Two longer ones, short blast

Long blast, coming for the outcast

Put me in a deep freeze and I'll sneeze

We're the mountain people

From a distance, I can see them

Pacing upstream, slowly, ruthlessly

Onwards, steady, nets and cages

Open, ready, long term memory

Soothes me, worry, take me, break me

Any way you fancy

Deep freeze, put me in it and I'll sneeze, a

Deep freeze, put me in it and I'll sneeze, a

Deep freeze, put me in it and I'll sneeze, a

Deep freeze, put me in it
