I'm high in a flat

Overlooking your Town

Im waiting for that non existent

service to roll Round

Im watching the rooves

From the 33rd Floor

Over to the Green and purple

hills of the ----- shore

...I see through your walls

...To a communal hall

And in this city of the free

You can come and stay with me

And you can look but you won't see, you won't see

I'm high in a flat

On a dying estate

Waiting for my disproportionae fears to dissipate

The window is wide

The comfort is cold

Somewhere in the local ----- stairwell rides my soul

I see through your door

You're grasping at her

You took me in and was my friend

We never came out here again

I'll repay you in the end

I'm high in a flat

Overlooking your town

I'm waiting for the towers of ----- to come down

And nothing is real

And no-one comes near

I'll meet you in the air between the Straton(?) atmosphere

I look in you eyes

I take you to fly(?)

And you can say I told you so

To all your neighbours down below

But we'll be gone and they won't know

If anyone has any ideas about the missing lyrics, please let me know,

or if anyone knows the guitar break in the middle that is pretty cool.
