it might have been the mountain calling
but we just had to drive
i get restless in the night
and i love to hide
so come find me baby
but you’ll have to try

yeah i go up real high
to watch the bombs explode
and yeah i tempt the lightning to strike
strong winds, rain & hail
my favorite hike
i’ll leave you in a minute
and i love to hide
so come find me baby
but you’ll have to try

what is nice
isn’t always what is real
not everything that bites
are somethings you can feel

make a little list and pack for it
keep you safe from the spark
life & inspiration will wait
at the top in the dark

there may have been a canyon
maybe your expectations are there
and if you yell loud enough
the rest of you will hear
see i just get a little restless
and i love to drive
so come & find me baby
but you’ll have to try

you’ll receive what you need
when you ask indeed
you’ll write what they read
when your delusion is freed

until then you’re just circling
below every mountain peak
counting to infinity
hide & seek

keep on climbing
scrape your knees and your hands
duck for the rockslides
follow the granite bands
i’ll tug on the rope a little
that i’ve thrown as a guide
so come find me baby
but you’ll have to try
