Eight Miles High Lyrics
Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You find you’re
Stranger than known.
Signs in the street
That say where you’re going
And somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is there
Warmth to be found
Just those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain grey town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces abound
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing
Alone.
And when you touch down
You find you’re
Stranger than known.
Signs in the street
That say where you’re going
And somewhere
Just being their own
Nowhere is there
Warmth to be found
Just those afraid
Of losing their ground
Rain grey town
Known for its sound
In places
Small faces abound
Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing
Some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living
Some standing
Alone.

The only cover on eight Roxy Music albums, although Jealous Guy was a single. Neither really sets the world on fire. They must have been a song short.
