out each pick, just listen to the song and work it out.

VERSE:
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.
Some belong to strangers, and some the folks you know.
Holy ghosts and talk-show hosts are planted in the sand.
Beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.

CHORUS:
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop, 
And an illustrated book about birds.
See a lot up there, but don't be scared.
Who needs action when you got words?

VERSE:
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop,
and look at what you've done.
Plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen,
and the work, it was fun.

CHORUS:
Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop, 
And an illustrated book about birds.
See a lot up there, but don't be scared.
Who needs action when you got words?

VERSE:
Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.
Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood.
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could.

OUTRO:
