She walks to the mailbox each morning at nine
Every day she begins she's always one day behind
At least when it comes to the mail


She sits on the balcony paying the bills
Her letters just hashing her cigarettes onto the sill

Every breath a little more pale

And the hill's still left to climb

It's just so

High

And I'm so
Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes

The clouds are all on
Fire
It's just so

High
And I'm so
Tired

Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on


Sits in his ba!@&(t from midnight 'til four
Painting pictures that nobody sees from his days in the war
The canvas is painted bright red, red

He heats up the shower, he paces the hall
He'll scrub for an hour or more but he won't get it all
The paint in his fingernail beds


The hill's still left to climb
It's just so


High
And I'm so

Tired
Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on

Fire
It's just so
High

And I'm so
Tired
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky

The clouds are all on
Fire
The clouds are all on

Fire
The clouds are all on


We wait in valleys whiles the clouds come in
We see no shadows, 'cause the shadow's all there is
And we climb,

And we climb

But it's just so

High
And I'm so
Tired

Come on look me in my bloodshot eyes
The clouds are all on
Fire

It's just so
High
And I'm so

Tired
Come on look up at the bloodshot sky
The clouds are all on

Fire
The clouds are all on
Fire

The clouds are all on
The clouds are all on
Fire

The clouds are all on
Fire
