lyrics

At the foot of a mountain
Miles high and still counting
God was up there and hiding fast
I sought to scale it and kick his ass

I press my puss against the precipice
Up on my way I passed Sisyphus
And I’m scared to fall down
Afraid to hit the ground
I’m scared to fall down
Afraid to hit the ground
But after all, what would change if I had happened to fall
But after all
I made it
I made it

My legs were done in, my heart was weak
My view established at the peak
I saw valleys of irises
And holly grown like green viruses
I searched my mind for a clever quip
That bastard Yahweh gave me the slip
But my mind beared no withstanding wit so
I lay foundered and full of shit

I press my puss against the precipice
Up on my way I passed Sisyphus
And I’m scared to fall down
Afraid to hit the ground
I’m scared to fall down
Afraid to hit the ground
But after all, what would change if I had happened to fall
But after all
I made it
I made it
I made it
I made it

White Birch Lakes
