Byrds, The - Eight Miles High Lyrics

Artist: Byrds, The

Album: Fifth Dimension

Genre: Rock

Byrds, The
Fifth Dimension
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 going
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

    This Byrds tune reminds me of helicoptors landing and taking us off to places unknow duing the Vietnam Nam sham. I know the Byrds hardly had this in mind, but the song still reminds me of said, almost in lyrick, too. Sadly beautiful tune, to me anyway.
