lyrics

Birds are leaving, the bells and you beneath
Choir is leaning, the bells and you beneath
Somone's saying your name, telling us to be proud
But the story's too shaky, the words are too loud

Grasshopper high, mud on the ground
When you go up, you're not coming back down

Black car too shiny, the bells and you beneath
Felt a little dizzy driving, the bells and you beneath
The sky is too grey, the words are too clean
They mean what they say, but they can't say what you mean

Grasshopper high, mud on the ground
When you go up, you're not coming back down
Grasshopper high, mud on the ground
When you go up, you're not coming back down

Handful of dirt
Head in my hands
Find a good tree to lean on
'Cause it's too hard to stand
Choir is singing
The bells are so high
The sun's slowly sinking
The words are too bright

Grasshopper high, mud on the ground
When you go up, you're not coming back down
Grasshopper high, mud on the ground
When you go up, you're not coming back down
