TJ Eckleberg - Mountain Lyrics

We stood on the roof puddles at our feet
A little too drunk, in love
I'd just bought new clothes a cool cat fuzz
Wondering
When will I be robust?

You said something about purity
Told a story about charity
Three guitars and a velvet blanket
Go tell it on the mountain
And tell yourself again
To do that girl no harm
It's easy when you think about it

And your name, was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And the mountain was on fire

Out on the street down below
A patient saint with white gloves
Rain shuffling black coats like cards
Like clowns at a rodeo dodging cars
Clutching phones like radios
And we were counting stars and barking dogs

And your name, was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And the mountain

These scenes move faster in movies
Finding cointreau and soda
Somehow unaware
Of the silence unfolding
Simple and strange
Flowing down the street
With every mess that I've made
As the rain comes down harder
And the flames leap higher

And suddenly singing
Like an angel choir
Like church bells ringing

And your name, was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And your name was on the mountain
And the mountain was on fire
