| MEET ME ON A THE ROOFTOP
Meet me on a rooftop
That's where I'm gonna be
This party is so old fashioned
Nothing is here for me
Meet me on a rooftop
I'll bring the radio
We can kick our shoes off
And dance really slowly
Drink a little moonshine
Have fun in clover time
I've been watching you through
a fascinating prism
Moving in and out of rhythm
Climb the fire escape with me
We can spin the world around from
a first class seat
Meet me on a rooftop
Ooh take a cab to the west side
Don't you worry about being so high up
Just lie beneath the city sky
See Ms. Liberty shine shine
I've been watching you through
a fascinating prism
Moving in and out of rhythm
Climb the fire escape with me
We can spin the world around from a first class seat
(You bring the candles and I'll bring the
Arnica oil, I'll massage your
mind until your spine uncoils)
You're enticing me with a scintillating schism
Dreaming in and out of living
Climb in my sleeping bag with me
You can spin my head around until
the birds come tweet tweet tweet
WILDERNESS: TRACK BY TRACK
“The thing I really love about this song is: ‘We’ll spin the world around from a first-class seat.’ It’s almost like I had seen everything, everything was offered to me--and everything was taken away. But all I really want is the pavement, the ocean--stuff that anyone can afford. Anyone can have a great life if they stop thinking that the grass is greener for someone else. That’s what life is all about, you know? Just come up to the rooftop with a radio; let’s dance and really enjoy where we are.”
