In My Tree (Lyrics)

Artist: Pearl Jam

Lyrics:

Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah
No more crowbars to my head, yeah
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah

Wave to all my friends, yeah
They don't seem to notice me, no
All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, (tem-pted)
Up here so high I start to shake
Up here so high the sky I scrape
I'm so high I hold just one breath here within my chest
Just like innocence

(Eddie's down in his home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)
(Eddie's blue sky home)
(Oh, the blue sky it's his home)

I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
It's growing up just like me, yeah
I'm so light the wind he shakes
I'm so high the sky I scrape
I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest
Sleep with innocence...

Up here so high the boughs they break
Up here so high the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
Baby got it, still got it

Awesome song, my first Pearl Jam concert was Randall's Island New York September 29th, 1996. It was a life changing experience, unbelievable.

I love this song live...when they play it "right". The original version with the heavy drum beats is much better than the slower version featuring Boom. Thankfully, when they played it in Boston last month, they did it up right. Matt Cameron ROCKS my fucking socks off.

This song is killer. Needs to be played more often. Would make a great opener. But only when they play it 'right'. Just listened to it from Philly '09 and its fantastic

It should be 74 and a half times played, not 75. They made a right mess of it at Fargo '03 where they couldn't remember how the song went!

This song is probably my favorite PJ song. So underrated

love this song... they have to play it next time they come to brazil!! one of my faves, not played at the '05 and '11 tour!!!
