Eight Miles High Songtext
von Crowded House

This is the song about the airplane right over the England one-time
They called it, "Eight Miles High"

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
