lyrics

=================================================

Many a hand have scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers, some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
Beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words?

Finish with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You'll see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words?

Many a hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland, others say Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

=================================================
