Oh, look at the view  Look at the people running, They've so much to do  Better than you  Better than take what's coming, Nothing's ever new    And everything that looks so good from here  Living out a dream I've had for a year  Living out a dream I've had    Oh, the avenue  They're taking the trees down, And they're asking me and you  What can we do?  We can stand in a circle, Paying tribute with paper and glue    And everything that looks so good from here  Living out a dream I've had for a year  Living out a dream I've had    I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last  We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past  I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass  But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask    Oh, hidden from view  The place that we keep from, How I miss those elegant lines  And the sun on the blinds  They beckon me down here, From what I know now are sunnier climbs    And everything that looks so good from here  Living out a dream I've had for a year  Living out a dream I've had    I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last  We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past  I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass  But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask    I never knew that I had been here before  They're running through houses, And breaking down doors  No matter where you go, They'll follow you, follow you, follow you    I was sure I'd move to heaven, But the feeling didn't last  We've never been forgiven, For the things done in the past  I often stand and stare at you, Protected by the glass  But I have nothing more to say to you, So please don't ever ask
