The titular mountain can be found in Yosemite Park; it forms the like with the natural world that the speaker so desperately wants to “know.”
When I've had enough, when I've heard enough from police and pretenders
When I'm ready for my whole world to open up and surrender
I'll look for you, I will be searching the garden and the street
I will look into the eyes of everyone I meet
And when I finally find you, will I know?
Fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome
Far beyond here, far removed from the sneering of the crowd
My eternal love sits smiling, sphinx-like and proud
Cross that disguise, I am glancing with needles in my eyes
Birds of infinity glisten, shimmering for the rest of my life
And I conceived them, not what they mean
Fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome
Fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome
Fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome
Fluorescent half dome, fluorescent half dome
