Lyrics The View from Above - Stephin Merritt

The View from Above

This scene is set on a mountain slope
Hooray!
Hooray!
Where the happy deer and the antelope
Just play all day!
Surgin' through the virgin snow with you and you and you
I’m in heaven climbing up the view!
Why would one look up at the sun?
I just love the view from above!
What man has seen such a lovely view?
Oh, joy!
Oh, joy!
A world of ants, and as easy to
Destroy!
Destroy!
Gazing down on hazy townfolk, townfolk
We can see it’s all a stupid joke
Like the sun looking down with love
We have won the view from above!
