This is a song about an airplane ride over to England
Called "Eight Miles High"
ย
Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You'll find that it's, stranger than known
Signs in the street, that say where you're goin'
Are somewhere, just being their own
ย
Nowhere is, there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losin' their ground
Rain gray town, known for it's sound
In places, small faces unbound
ย
(One, two, three)
Round the squares, huddled in storms
Some laughin', some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines
Some livin', some standing alone
ย
