lyrics

Emerging from the valley
I came upon a mountain
Tallest one that I ever did see

And it looms there in the distance
Everyone must climb it
Or take the cable car and pay the fee

The cable car is rising
And I’m still in the foothills
Overhead I hear it passing me

But the foothills turn to pillows
The river is a blanket
Winding through a valley of cold sheets

And I realize that I’m dreaming
Cause I’m in my apartment
And in the foothills simultaneously

Well, I don’t know if I can even tell the difference
Between the bed and the ground
No sense of any elevation
What is up as well as what is down

The cable car is rising
And I am peeking over
Looking down on myself half-asleep

Emerging from the valley
I came upon a mountain
Tallest one that I ever did see

And it looms there in the distance
Everyone must climb it
Or take the cable car and pay the fee
But it was just a fever vision
Filled with joy and terror
Very far from my reality

Well, I don’t know if I can even tell the difference
Between the bed and the ground
No sense of any elevation
What is up as well as what is down
Are we heading to the mountaintop
Or heading down to the sea?
Was I ever in the cable car?
Was I ever even in the valley?
