The Sky Is
The sky is
moving,
big changes coming
The father's come waiting out the troubles
I took my baby to the panhandle
We kept on moving
when our language caused a scandal
The sky is bleeding,
my mama's empty
Afraid to open the care package
that she sent me
I reach for heaven,
I'm reaching up above
Somebody told me there's
a power in love
I took my baby up to the northwest
I wore no tie, just a snap collar
and a suede vest
Then started flyin' just like the pigeons
But the woman grew heavy
and I just couldn't catch her
I took my baby to the quadrangle
Every time we made love
I was looking for an angle
I took my lunch, I took it with me
I ate my brains,
my heart and then my kidney
I took my baby to New York City
Oh, from a distance the city is so pretty
The streets were shiny,
police like phantoms
Playing three -card Monty
and I couldn't get a hand in
The sky is cryin' just like a baby
Screamin' isn't there
anybody gonna save me
I took my gui tar down
from the shelf
Strummed one sad chord
and I reinvented myself
The sky is moving
Big change is coming
The sun has come
While it causes all the trouble
I dress my baby in miniskirt and sandals
She's burnin' incense
while I cover her with candles
The sky is cryin',
Emperor so needy
The lips of his concubine,
they are bloody red and greedy
I'm just a man with noth
in' left to prove
Everything to live for and
nothin' to lose, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ha, ha, ha, ha
