The View from Above - Stephin Merritt

This scene is set on a mountain slope

Hooray!

Hooray!

Where the happy deer and the antelope

Just play all day!

Surgin' through the virgin snow with you and you and you

I’m in heaven climbing up the view!

Why would one look up at the sun?

I just love the view from above!

What man has seen such a lovely view?

Oh, joy!

Oh, joy!

A world of ants, and as easy to

Destroy!

Destroy!

Gazing down on hazy townfolk, townfolk

We can see it’s all a stupid joke

Like the sun looking down with love

We have won the view from above!
