In My Tree (Christchurch 2009-11-29) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah
No, no more crowbars to my head, yeah
I′m trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah

Wave to all my friends, yeah
They don't seem to notice me, no
All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalks, cigarettes, and seams, yeah, yeah

Up here so high, I start to shake
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
I′m so high I hold just one breath deep within my chest, just like innocence


Eddie's down in his home
Oh, the blue sky, it's his home
Eddie′s blue sky home
Oh, the blue sky, it′s his home

I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
They say knowledge is a tree, yeah
It's growing up just like me, yeah

I′m so light, the wind he shakes
I'm so high, the sky I scrape
I′m so light I hold just one breath to go back to my nest, to sleep with innocence

Up here so high, the boughs they break
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
And my eyes feel both wide open
And I got a glimpse of my inner sense
Got back my innocence
Still got it, still got it
