lyrics

My Village

At the base of the mountain

But at the top of the world

Lies the most precious place

With the most special folk

Hidden in the mist
This one little town

Lost in its own darkness
Is where I call home



We’re all the best of bus friends

At conjuring small talk

You say something that I will soon forget
As I smile and nod

“My cousin’s having a baby”
“I once had one of those too”

We’re all fake in the eyes we meet

Down here blinding ain’t no taboo


‘Cause the waves don’t crash in the village where I live
Though crash sites prosper

The waves don’t crash in the town in which I live

But I’ll take what it has to offer.



And down in this hellhole
Is where I keep my friends

We sometimes lose each other
Sometimes make our amends

And you’re welcome to join in

Our army of doom

Come on down to our paradise

We got plenty of room



‘Cause the waves don’t crash in the city where I live
Though crash sites prosper

The waves don’t crash in this world in which we live

But I’ll take what is has to offer,

Yes I’ll take what is has to offer,

I guess I’ll take what it has to offer
