Vertical

Mountains in Kauai Make me feel so lowly Cower at their power Vertical I like Dizzy under buildings Bending like their willing Is it what I’m seeing Vertical is fright Hard to gain perspective Often it’s perplexing Reaching for a record Vertical is sight Hanging on a pylon Dropping from a million Jumping on a hill Vertical is height People live above you Postured like a totem Runnin’ up some stairs Vertical is might Stalling on a nose Places to propose in Seeing everything from vertical is light Diamonds of the sky on Black and endless background Reaching out to grab them Vertical at night My imagination Reaches to forever Like an endless tower Vertical I write So high and still it sends a feeling through me Suddenly not vertical Breathe in the air the goes through a system that is A tree we are with limbs extending to the sun (very lovely vertical) Come find me floating up if you should find me gone (meet you in a child's day) My feet can't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can't cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot For me, for me, for me For me, for me, for me uh, uh, uh, uh At the tips of cities Birds are tracing columns Windows bend in wind Vertical in flight Down below a statue People stand in poses Making good impressions Vertical delights Lying on a trunk And waiting to be dreaming Startled by a thumpin' Vertical insight Lots of people thinkin' Thinking about falling Nothing but a rope so Vertical hold tight Sometimes you feel the pressure dropping on you (pressure from the vertical) I start to wonder does this system matter? (only if it’s vertical) Even in leaves some creatures build themselves a home (can’t always be vertical) Lifted above the din their worlds a peaceful dome (they don’t hear the child say) My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot My feet can’t cross the parking lot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot The parking lot is way too hot
