Momus - Moral Mountain lyrics

People say that I missed the big McGuffin
The suitcase of money and the girl
But Maude walk a mile with me
And you are on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

Come the Twitter shit'storm
People shoot me down
Saying there's not room enough in this town
But, I am eating lunch with chopsticks
High up on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

You might think I am
Fiddling while Rome burns
On the world's smallest violin
Hell I can smell the smoke
But, I am on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

People say I'm far away
I'm hardly in the world today
But uphill is an excellent view
I can't hear you bitching
When I'm standing on a mountain

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

My gaze is so definitive
The cities, like infinitive
Split in the book of the world
Why boldly go to space
When you can have a mountain?

(He's on the Moral Mountain)

On yonder hill there stands a maiden
Who she is I do not know
But, I might just holler hello
She must be the girl for me
If she is on a mountain

(She's on the Moral Mountain)
