Is it lonely at the top of the world

Familiar but somehow removed

The neighbors start to see it as strange

Carved out like a pumpkin

Long crooked teeth

Digging through the cracks somewhere underneath

It's eating at the floor

The dream that we shape at the top of the world

And how long before we melt and bend our shape

And what's worse if I can't recognize this place

(We're leaving)

For what it's worth you're my life you're my starling

My hands are tied my feet are sure enough to run

We're at the top of the world

We're at the top of the world

I'm no longer just a fly on the wall

I take part in thick swarm

And the threat that's swelling out of my side

Rainbowish streams feed a pipeline

It's dripping down the walls

Scaring out the bugs in these motel halls

The portal in my room

We dream of a lake to flood the top of the world

And how long before we melt and bend our shape

And what's worse if I can't recognize this place

(We're leaving)

For what it's worth you're my life you're my starling

My hands are tied my feet are sure enough to run

We're at the top of the world

We're at the top of the world

At the top of the world there's a lukewarm view

Where the sun might collapse

It was just me and you

Standing on the edge

The lightning that we chase

Poke through the sky and float off into space

At the top of the world

Buried under rocks

Two tiny feet wearing mismatched socks

But the rush was wrong

Something isn't right

It shouldn't feel this good to hide
