Ghost Mice - Switzerland lyrics

Looking out the foggy window of the train it seemed insane The rain was comin' down so fast it couldn't make it in the drains And all the roads had turned to rivers and the stairs to waterfalls The buildings in Zurich had great graffiti on their walls We only saw it for a second when the lightning bolts would strike The city lost its power; there was a monster in the sky blocking out the sunlight It was hard to tell whether it was day or night When our train pulled into the station, we were happy just to be alive We had made it on time and the storm had surrendered We set up our tent in the victorious sunlight We walked into town and we looked around We stared through the windows at Swiss army knives We were in a deep valley in the middle of two lakes With mighty mystic mountains rising up on each side And we slept that night and we dreamed about the climb that we were gonna make Life's not about the stuff that you have; it's more about the chances you take We bought two cans of beans, one for you and one for me A bag of peanuts too then we laced up our boots We hiked up the hills pa**ing ponies on the way Stoppin', reachin' through the fence to feed them some hay The trees grew so thick that we couldn't see their tops As we twisted like the roots through the rocks and the moss Coming down around the corner came a herd of baby lambs I swear I took at least a hundred pictures of them When we made it out of the trees and back into the light We could see we were gettin' pretty close to the sky Under our feet perfect blue, pink, and white Were the smallest, sweetest edelweiss And Gandalf would have been a great guide As the trail we were trusting hugged the mountainside Deep down below in the ice and the snow The river cut a gorge through the rock like a knife And we could see the spot where the giant pushed is feet into the stone And kept the mountain from fallin', saving the village below And the crows came to say hello They laughed at you and me; they said we were way too slow The crows, without effort, sank and rose They laughed at you and me They sang that we should have flown Up at the top we had to stop because there was nowhere left to go So we ate our beans and we shared our nuts with those big black braggin' crows We smashed our cans, put on our packs, and started back on our way home I like goin' up better than comin' down but everything comes back down, you know The sun will melt away the snow, the rivers will flow The crows will sing together and alone This whole world is our home. Make this world your home
