The Sky Is A Landfill Lyrics - Sketches (for My Sweetheart The Drunk) - Jeff Buckley

Circle around the park 

Joining hands in silence 

Watch the evil black the sky 

The storm has ripped the shelter 

Of illusion from our brow 

This power is no mystery to us now 

Leave your spirit genocide 

The cancer you wont remove 

We cast our funeral rose inside 

And bury the need to prove 

Our mutilation is to gain from the system 

Oh, turn your head away 

From the screen, oh people 

It will tell you nothing more 

Dont suck the milk of flaccid Bill K 

Publics empty promise 

To the people that the public can ignore 

This way of life is so devised 

To snuff out the mind that moves 

Moving with grace the men despise 

And women have learned to lose 

Throw off your shame 

Or be a slave to the system 

I see you take another drag 

One more lost soul to raise your flag 

The sky is a landfill 

I see you take another drag 

Lets see you take another drag 

You like to dance to the rolling 

Head of the adulteress 

You sing in praise of suicide 

We know youre useless 

Like cops at the scene of the crime 

With your steroids and your feedbag 

And your stable and your trainer 

I got a mail bomb for you Mr. Strong Arm 

Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homes 

For the violence of a nation gone by 

Or the politics of weakness 

And the garbage dump of souls 

That will now black the sky 

Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes 

Will plug up the mind that moves 

Moving with grace the men despise 

And women have learned to lose 

Well share our bodies 

In disdain for the system 

Oh, I see you take another drag 

One nation bends to kiss the hag 

The sky is a landfill 

Let me see you take another drag 

See you take another drag 

I have no fear of this machine
