8 miles high = 42240 feet high ~ 40000 feet high
think about:
what is learned from 40000 feet?
stranger than known
signs that say where you are going on the ground are [unreliable?]
those afraid of losing their ground
rain
small faces unbound
round the squares
huddled in storms
who is higher, me or the band?
++++++++
The Byrds "Eight Miles High"
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's
Stranger than known
Signs in the street
That say where you're goin'
Are somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is
There warmth to be found
Among those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain gray town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces unbound
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing alone
Songwriters: David Crosby / Gene Clark / Jim Mcguinn
