Everest

<br>From the depth of the pacific<br><br>To the height of everest<br><br>And still the world is smoother<br><br>Than a shiny ball-bearing<br><br>So I take a few steps back<br><br>And put on a wider lens<br><br>And it changes your skin,<br><br>Your sex, and what your wearing<br><br>Distance shows your silloutte<br><br>To be a lot like mine<br><br>Like a sphere is a sphere<br><br>And all of us here<br><br>Have been here all the time<br><br><br><br>You brought me to church,<br><br>Cinder blocks, flourescent light<br><br>You brought me to church<br><br>At 7oclock on a sunday night<br><br>And the band was rocking<br><br>And the floors were scrubbed clean<br><br>And everybody had a tambourine<br><br><br><br>So I took a deep breath and became<br><br>The white girl with the hair<br><br>And you sat right beside me<br><br>While everybody stared<br><br>And through the open window<br><br>I think the singing went outside<br><br>And floated up to tell<br><br>All the stars not to hide<br><br>Cuz by the time church let out<br><br>The sky was much clearer<br><br>And the moon was so beautiful,<br><br>That the ocean held up a mirror<br><br><br><br>As we walked home we spoke slowly<br><br>We spoke slow,<br><br>And we spoke lowly<br><br>Like it was taking more time<br><br>Than usual to choose<br><br>The words to go<br><br>With your squeaky sandle shoes<br><br>Like time is not a thing<br><br>Thats ours to lose<br><br><br><br>From the height of the pacific<br><br>To the depths of everest
