Hyperballad lyrics

We live on a mountain

Right at the top

There's a beautiful view

From the top of the mountain

Every morning I walk towards the edge

And throw little things off

Like:

Car-parts, bottles and cutlery

Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit

A way

To start the day

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you

It's real early morning

No-one is awake

I'm back at my cliff

Still throwing things off

I listen to the sounds they make

On their way down

I follow them with my eyes 'till they crash

Imagine what my body would sound like

Slamming against those rocks

When it lands

Will my eyes

Be closed or open?

I go through all this

Before you wake up

So I can feel happier

To be safe up here with you
