lyrics

There's a road I take when I'm in the Bay
And the mountains flow up and down the coast
Above the city
Above the city
And when I get in, it is further still
From the dancing lights and a real life
Above the city
Above the city

And if it's a bad call, it's a burden
What a long way down for a turnaround
It's gonna be last call in a hurry
When I'm so tired I can't feel it anymore

I'd rather be happy than...

There's a place we go to look down below
On the passing cars underneath the stars
Above the city
Above the city
And we talk about how it gets too loud
And the drugs we take to forget our place
Above the city
Above the city

And if it's a bad call, it's a burden
What a long way down for a turnaround
It's gonna be last call in a hurry
When I'm so tired I can't feel it anymore

I'd rather be happy than...

When I was young
I thought that I could run
Faster if oneself could be enough
Now I judge
All that I have shunned
What I've become
And what I am not above

And if it's a bad call, it's a burden
What a long way down for a turnaround
It's gonna be last call in a hurry
When I'm so tired I can't feel it anymore

I'd rather be happy than...
