Simon Bookish - Topography lyrics

I can't see the sea from the centre of the city Just the tops of the trees and they're not so pretty I can't see the mountains on the distant horizon The lye of the land, the only lie I rely on Topography, a science I am needing Topography, just to end this feeling Topography, in the books I'm reading Then I run through the town past the concrete and steel Should I pull it all down? To see what I can reveal I know inside these four walls I have to stifle emotion But you'll see when it falls: over rubble a view, out to the ocean
