Al Yell - No Mountains lyrics

Standing in line, hypothetical freedom

I claim my blood as my fortune

But no statement of mine could ever define

The morning and its surprise:

Toxic air everywhere, short breathe suffocation

Dollar bills, automobiles; the center of attention

There's a pain in my head and it just won't go away

It'll take all my strength to ease the strain

There's a song in my head and it just won't go away

It'll take all my mind to stay away, take all my mind to stay away

'Cause there are no mountains here

No waterfalls to serenade the night

There are no mountains here

No elder trees to fill my dreams with light

Now you're feeling alone you think you're all on your own

Maybe someone should teach you that if your crippled inside

And always wear a disguise, somebody's bound to cheat you.

There's a feeling of pride 'bout ten miles wide

And East from where you're standing.

You know you should leave but you've been deceived

Now everybody's laughing

There are voices in my head getting louder everyday

Pleading me to stay awake

There is someone in my head to whom I just cannot relate

Would do no good to give him a name

'Cause there are no mountains here

It's race with time and the vehicle is Fear

There are no mountains here

It's school of life but the lesson isn't clear
