Greatest story ever told
Gets forgotten, bought and sold
Gets confused now like a child
who refuses to grow old

Oh but what more can we do
From the pulpit from the pew
From the tread of those who'd walk upon
the catholic side of you

For everyone there comes a time
To want to live above the timberline
Too steep to run to bare to hide
Exposed above the timberline

In my so called prime
I never wasted so much time
I never made the choice between
Getting stoned or crucified

Behind the fury lies the fear
Lies the fake pine veneer
Lies I barely bought myself
The dishonesty so clear

But in my heart and in my mind
I want to live above the timberline
So take my hand and help me climb
I want to live above the timberline
