Too Close To The Sun (靠太阳太近) - The Mutton Birds[00:00:00]
It's so dry here[00:00:31]
One spark and the whole place could go up[00:00:37]
I think i'll stop and get a drink here[00:00:49]
Something like the picture on the poster i saw a few miles back[00:00:56]
A green can on a nest of ice[00:01:03]
Like the egg of some antarctic bird[00:01:07]
And i've seen this town in a dream[00:01:13]
I was running away[00:01:18]
From something that i didn't want to see[00:01:23]
It was a day like today[00:01:28]
I watched the sky melt over highway one[00:01:31]
And i felt too close to the sun[00:01:38]
Neighbour of mine[00:02:13]
Got out of his car somewhere down country in weather like this[00:02:19]
Just disappeared[00:02:32]
Left the engine running[00:02:35]
Police came to talk to his wife[00:02:37]
I watched them from my window[00:02:41]
She was shaking her head[00:02:44]
The cops were standing with their big hands hanging down[00:02:47]
And i've seen this town in a dream[00:02:55]
I was running away[00:03:00]
From something that i didn't want to see[00:03:05]
It was a day like today[00:03:09]
I watched the sky melt over highway one[00:03:13]
And i felt too close to the sun[00:03:20]
Who's that yonder dressed in white[00:03:34]
An old man kneeling on the bowling green[00:03:39]
Shiny with gin and brilliantine[00:03:43]
He might as well have stepped from a satellite[00:03:46]
Looks at me and gets up slowly[00:03:52]
Smiles and waves as if he knows me[00:03:55]
And i've seen this town in a dream[00:04:01]
I was running away[00:04:06]
From something that i didn't want to see[00:04:11]
It was a day like today[00:04:15]
I watched the sky melt over highway one[00:04:19]
And i felt too close to the sun[00:04:25]
Too close to the sun[00:04:53]
