I’m on your wavelength-who do they think they are?
With their red tape and borders wrapped all around your star
You’ve got a Tuinal memory-selective and faded
There’s nothing left to seduce you-you’re far too jaded
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
My high atmosphere girl
How could they touch you when you don’t use their technology?
Summerin’ in Port-Au-Prince, pourin’ gin on the comedy
And when they said it was time to repent, you made love in a convent
But when you flashed ‘em for the camera, they swore that you were heaven-sent
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
My high atmosphere girl
You didn’t even notice me-standin’ right beside you
But I saw it all go down-the fat man you gave that money to
You’re like Rommel in winter-fearless and immortal
But, you couldn’t hear me callin’ you from right over your shoulder
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
My high atmosphere girl
I wanna thank you for the teachin’
I wanna thank you for never preachin’
I wanna thank you for keepin’ me reachin’
I hope I never let you down
I wanna thank you for all the tough lovin’
I wanna thank you for all the pushin’ and the shovin’
And if it all adds up to mean nothin’
You were sure somethin’ to be around
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
And now you’re lookin’ down on the world
My high atmosphere girl
My high atmosphere girl
