 ( )x8
 Down beneath the swoosh  of the turbines,
 The long grass it blows  in ripples,
 There’s a beautiful spiral  of roads,
 That lead the lost up here.
 I was watching the birds  taking off,
 To swoop  down over the city,
 They find and take just what  they need,
 And turn,  turn, turn.
 The movers  move, the shakers  shake,
 The winners  write their history,
 But from high  on the high  hills
 It all  looks like nothing.
 The movers  move, the shakers  shake,
 The winners  write their history,
 But from high  on the high  hills
 It all  looks like nothing.
 That afternoon on the hustler  gate,
 With all  the TVs  flickering,
 While behind the sky  was moving,
Liquid  crimson gold.
 Brothers, sisters,  pay no heed
 To the unfaithful  messengers,
 For theirs is a prison  world,
 Of lies,  lies, lies.
 The keening wind,
 It blows though me, it blows  through me.
 My time it must,
 Be almost done,  be almost done.
 ( )x4
All  these things you fear  so much
 Depend  on angles of vision.
 Down in the maze  of walls,
 You can’t see what’s coming,
 But from high  on the high  hills
 It all  looks like nothing,
 From high  on the high  hills
   ( )x4  ( )x4
 It all looks like nothing, nothing.
