It's a long way down

Above the two tone town

And it's no funny when you're stuck in the middle

I'm coming up for air

I could be anywhere

It makes no difference when you live in a puddle

Now that I see it

How can I breath

When my heart's in my mouth

And not on my sleeve

Better run little rabbit

The people look so small

Sliding off the wall

Getting dizzy as the fall in the gutter

I watch the seagull

Swooping past the steeple

Crying for his dinner as he shits on the sinners

Now that I see it

How can I breath

When my heart's in my mouth

Instead of on my sleeve

Better run little rabbit
