lyrics

If we run from the streets
If we hide from the knives
If we fly from our homes
If we die

Turn the light off when you leave the room

Too much light inside the window
Much too dark outside the door
I can't see out where have you flown to
I watched you fly away

Turn the light off when you leave the room

[chorus:]
I'm on top of the world
You're outside my window
I'm on top of the world now

And Samantha owns nine cats
They'll hunt you when they see you
But more often than not
They're blinded by the machinery

[chorus]

And I don't want to know whose games you play
Don't want to know whose sons you shot
I don't want to know whose shoes you wear
Just tell me more about love

[chorus]

Now there are two (two birds)
Two of you flying (two birds)
All the furry babies (two birds)
Fade into the night

Turn the light off when you leave the room
