A song by The Byrds covered by The Marked

The Marked Lyrics


here i'm
eight miles high
and where you touch down
you’re stranger than you know
silent street
and when you go there
you find you're still alone

eight miles high
and when you turn around
you'll see that you can't evolve
silent dreams
and when you know that
you can't
you cannot anymore

and when you find that
that nowhere

The Byrds Lyrics


Eight miles high and when you touch down
You’ll find that it’s stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you’re going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for it’s sound
In places small faces unbound

Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

Notes


Billy Corgan on vocals.
