Jonah Smith - Beneath the Underdog

Tell It to the Mountain

I'm gonna write some bubble-gum fluff
That's gonna stain your heart
I'm gonna learn to mock things
Like love that is never true
And instincts that are never right
And I'm gonna learn to laugh
At my own misfortune
Laugh at my own big fortune
Laugh at my own misfortune

I'm going to steer myself around
By my own tail
And dizzy with the work put in
I begin to see straight through a crooked eye
I'm gonna say it all with ooh's and ah's
To deliver my messages of renewal
Like the summer rolling around again
Like I blow out the candles
On a seamless adventure
Where no one travels anywhere
And no one arrives
But we scramble to do it one more time
We scramble to do it one more time

I'm gonna tell it to the mountain
Sing it in the valley below
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm gonna let you know

I'm gonna tell it to the mountain
Sing it in the valley below
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm gonna let you know

I'm gonna learn to speak in metaphors
That don't make sense
I'm gonna sing a simple song
About the truth
And them I'm gonna distort the facts
And I'm gonna live my life inside a sound bite
Bend the hook until the inflection is just right
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why

I'm gonna learn to dodge a question
Like a bullet
So I can seem abstract and aloof
Without really saying anything at all
Perhaps, I'll pretend I'm deaf
Like Reagan getting on an airplane
Would you really think I was insane?
Would you really think I knew anything
About anything at all?
Anything about it at all

I'm gonna tell it to the mountain
Sing it in the valley below
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm gonna let you know

I'm gonna write some bubble-gum fluff
That's gonna stain your heart
I'm gonna sing it city to city
Until it climbs up the charts
And I'm gonna live my life
Just how I planned
On the rise
And in demand
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why

I'm gonna tell it to the mountain
Sing it in the valley below
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm gonna let you know

I'm gonna tell it to the mountain
Sing it in the valley below
I'm gonna sing my song
I'm gonna let you know
