"Tree House" lyrics

If you're in Heaven would you even know?
About the hell that's going on in the world below?
A glass boat with an underwater view
See the sharks treatin' each other like some food
See, if I was up above, there wouldn't be a chance
That I would even make a downward glance at the ants, ah
I'd be perched up atop of the tallest tree
Where you reach out of the window and grab a leaf
You can only see the big wide open sky
And the occasional bird flyin' by so high that I don't
Feel like I'm connected to a single worldly problem
Make a little flag and declare myself sovereign
Dear Santa, a treehouse, I really want one

I wish I had a treehouse right now
Somewhere I could go where it's not so loud
I would shut the world out, all out
Everything is better when you're off the ground
I'd climb so high
If I only had a treehouse

Where was I? Imaginary Christmas (Uh)
Way up in the sky where the distance is limitless (No limit)
Got my own thing, I got my own show business (Show)
In this instance I don't know where the audience is (Nope)
Ain't as important as it seems (Uh-uh)
In fact I don't even know what the word "important" means
No screen intervenes (Nope)
You won't feel no rage directed against machines (Against machines)
Or operate within the regulations and concerns
You won't sign the thing that says [?] violate the terms
Got a firm grip on my own sanity
I ask myself why can't it be in a tree
When I look at my house?

I wish I had a treehouse right now
Somewhere I could go where it's not so loud
I would shut the world out, all out
Everything is better when you're off the ground
I'd climb so high
If I only had a treehouse right now
Somewhere I could go where it's not so loud
I would shut the world out, all out
Everything is better when you're off the ground
I'd climb so high
If I only had a treehouse

Thank you very much
