Sinking Land - Martha and the Muffins

Miles below, a city framed in light

Up above, a jet plane passing in the night

Left behind, a life you’ve known too long

Just ahead, a new horizon glows

Date and time of day are quite discarded

Lying among the postcards in your drawer

Day to day concerns left by the wayside

Forgotten in your quest for something more

The GNP slides lower every day

The government is crumbling so they say

But temporal things will never hold you back

A shining sinking land is in your eyes

A shining land

A sinking land

(repeat)
