Sky Babies

(albüm: Fishing For Luckies - 1994)

Back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes
And everyone drinks and everyone smokes
No-one speaks 'less there's something to say
There's no false words, just telecommunique

Back on my planet you cannot tell lies
'Cos everyone can see it by the look in your eyes
Parties that last for a couple of days
No one sleeps 'cos beds are prohibited

Back on my planet, silence is granted
We're laughing at the earthlings
Back on my planet
Back on my planet

(And meanwhile...)
Back on my planet where dinosaurs roam
With uncut TV beaming into your home
Is Mother Nature being eager and free?
Money don't talk just giving ability

Back on my planet, rules are all slanted
We're toking to be broken
Back on my planet
Back on my planet
Back on my planet

Take a trip down an open road
And the eyes on an evening star
Gets to move a bit closer to the ground
Like night at play
Wanna know what I need to know
Wanna see that we ain't in charge
Where the superpowers will try to run it down
All alone, you're not alone
'Cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour
Small and slight and grey
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on

Look into those eyes
It comes as no surprise
"It's little more than Science Fiction"
The Government replies
They could be taking our daughters
They could be taking our ladies
Making sky babies
Sky babies
Sky babies

I, I'm looking at the sky tonight
Everything clear defined
Just like the last time
All ideas inside my head
Anything like a real one
I'm looking from the floor tonight
Weary of humankind
Tired of the chains that bind
Wasting time on diatribe

And all the time the walls are closing in
I'm feeling stuck inside again
When something more divine than suicide
More generous than fate
'Cos when I get to see a new sun arise
I'll be myself blame it on the other side
I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease
I'll take a cheap seat, please

'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go?
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go

Yesterday's dreams don't mean nothing it seems
'Cos the big life keeps them waiting
And the people we find with a polythene mind
They just don't care at all
And the halcyon days are fearless and staged
As a memory plays it one more time
Here today, gone tomorrow

This is it in layman's terms
Phenomenon of UFOs
Is well acknowledged by the States
But secret to the President
Employed to be a public face
And keep the public feeling safe
But higher powers in the Government
Hide something a million times
The size of the killing of JFK
The CIA are aware that higher powers
Exist with untold knowledge of
Life and death dimension it could
Alter public awareness of religion
Which is the only faith that
Keeps us all in true control
And that's why we can never know

They're shaking, and they're fucking us again

'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
So won't you take me with you when you go?
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go
'Cos you're the only one thing I wanna know
If you take me with you when you go
And there's a million feelings I wanna show
If you take me with you when you go
