I’ve Seen the Top of the Mountain Songtext
von Mansun

All this built up passion burns out anyway
You didn′t see it come
You got stuck in your ways
Oh please, no summons or lectures, yeah
Oh, I'm empty today

Today, not a single thing would persuade me to stay
But I′ve seen the top of the mountain
Now there's only one place to go

Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I'll go
Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I′ll go


Physically I′m present but my soul's away
Everybody says
Just straighten your face
Oh please, my nature′s unchangeable
Oh, just leave it for me, for me

Could you tolerate, could you give me some space
'Cause I′ve seen the top of the mountain
Now there's only one place to go

Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I′ll go
Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I'll go

Today, and today, there's not a single thing could persuade me to stay
′Cause I′ve seen the top of the mountain
Now there's only one place to go

Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I′ll go
Downhill could be my best direction
Downhill I go
