Lyrics by Dean Frederick

lyrics

They say we're growing up so fast
But innocence ain't built to last
And Alice threw her looking glass
Ten stories down the elevator shaft

There's a place I know I go sometimes
'Cause it looks so pretty, looking down on this city

My mama's sick, my dad's been fired
By the boss he once admired
And my big sister looks so tired
As she waves goodbye to all her desires

There's a place I know I go sometimes
'Cause it looks so pretty, looking down on this city

From the top of the city I can see the satellites
My mama, don't wait up for me, I'll be coming home late tonight

They say that I should go to school
But it don't mean much except the rule
It don't mean I think my life is cruel
But college is for clever fools

There's a place I know where life is fine
On top of this city, it looks so pretty

I go sometimes on top of this city
I know what's mine on top of this city
I go sometimes on top of this city
See the satellites from the top of this city
I go sometimes on top of this city
I know what's mine from the top of this city..
