Eight miles high

And when you touch down

You find you're

Stranger than known



Signs in the street

That say where you're goin'

Are somewhere

Just bein' their own



Nowhere is

There warmth to be found

Just those afraid

Of losing their ground



Rain gray town

Known for its sound

In places

Small faces about



Round the squares

Huddled in storms

Some laughin'

Some just shapeless forms



Sidewalk scenes

And black limousines

Some livin'

Some standin' alone



Eight miles high

Eight miles high



Eight miles high

Eight miles high



Eight miles high

Eight miles high

Eight miles high
