Nothing In The Sky
Are you still confused?
It’s your innocence that’s gone
The day they drew back curtain
You realized you’re all alone
Like people when they jump
Like people trying to fly
Before they hit the ground
They cry out
To nothing in the sky

I was sitting on a beach
By the airport in Lauderdale
Nothing taking off or landing
The air was thick and stale
So I turned my head around
A bird was sitting on a line
It looked like he
Was wondering why
There was nothing
In the sky

There ain’t nothing in the sky
There ain’t nothing in the sky
Just a cool, calm, neutral blue
Staring me back in the eye
And no one’s walking
On the water
Or coming back when they die
Now, no matter how long
That I live
I won’t forget
And I can’t forgive

Self proclaimed holy men
Two days later on TV
Said “This country had it comin’
The good Lord’s trying
To make us see”
Those words echo in my head
As I walk past the dandelion
It holds my smile for me
Just like the sky

There ain’t nothing in the sky
There ain’t nothing in the sky
Just a cool, calm shade of blue
Staring me back in the eye
And no one’s coming
Down the mountain
No one’s coming with
A reason why
No matter how long that I live
I won’t forget
And I can’t forgive

For a moment it felt
Like peace had come
I’d pay the devil now
To get me some

In the name of Mohammed
Abraham and Jesus too
There’s no such thing as crazy
When it’s what
God wants from you
So they will kill
Until there’s nothing left
But the echo of a lie
Nothing but the truth
Nothing in the sky…

There ain’t nothing in the sky
There ain’t nothing in the sky
Just a cool, calm and neutral blue
Staring me back in the eye
And no one’s coming
To the rescue
No one’s even gunna
Say goodbye
No matter how long that I live
I won’t forget and can’t forgive

For a moment it felt
Like peace had come
Now, praise the lord
And pass the gun
For a moment it felt
Like peace had come
I’d pay the devil now
To get me some
