Abney Park Away From The Things Of Man
Out past the pavement
Out past the cobblestones
Out past the factories
Where we can be all alone.
I see the trees, and
I see the waterfalls, and
I see the river banks
And I want to see it all
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Out past the rusting cars
Out past the fire lines
Out past the traffic lights
Where we can forget our times.
I see the mountains, and
I see the fireflies, and
I see the empty space
Where we can forget out lives
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
No one to tell you where to go, where to stand
No one to say what is good and what is bad
The laws never change and the needles are clean
The waters are blue and the trees are green.
I wanna be able to see the whole sky
Where the animals run and the birds can fly
No one would dare try to change the laws
That were set by the wings
And the hooves
And the paws
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
Away
Away
Away
Away from the things of man.
No one to tell you where to go, where to stand
No one to say what is good and what is bad
The laws never change and the needles are clean
The waters are blue and the trees are green
I wanna be able to see the whole sky
Where the animals run and the birds can fly
No one would dare try to change the laws
That were set by the wings
And the hooves
And the paws
Away
