Rushmore
Rushmore

With mirrors and smoke filling my eyes
I face the occasion, unable to rise
Somewhere a fist pounds on a drum
And where is that howling coming from?
I think it might be me screaming out rage
And crying for someone to open the cage

I seem to be the only one here
Except for the feeling of stone cold fear
Now I’m losing it and starting to sing
Into the shadow of my broken wings
Six plus four, in harmony please
Pennies or nickels, we’re all on our knees

Chorus
I wanna go, I wanna fly
Over the mountains, across the sky
Into forgiveness, away from the past
Over the mountain, free at last

I call and I call and wait for the rest
The parade goes by in perfect lock steps
I wave good bye, it’s been a long day
Please come back when you’ve something to say
For yourself and we’ll scrub the black from your heart
Til it shines like a dollar, silver and smart

I wanna go, I wanna fly
Over the mountains, across the sky
Into forgiveness, away from the past
Over the mountain, free at last
