lyrics

Nicole had sunstroke as she crossed the mountainside
Desperate for the shade, a little place to hide
She reached the summit as the Sun came down like rain
Then the beams breached her skull, began to kiss her brain

The mountains abstract everything from on the ground
But when you've climbed them you can see for miles around
Much closer to the sun, much closer to its love
That's what Nicole was feeling when she rose above

And she took all she learned on the mountain and told us all
And smashed everything like a twenty ton bowling ball

Nicole told everyone about what she had found
Her words flew round the world faster than their own sound
Within a week a new age of peace had begun
She saved the Earth by listening to the Sun
