Mastedon - Islands In The Sky lyrics

rate me

In this great city, you don't hear church bells ring

Everybody dances, but nobody sings

And in the winter, there's never snow on the round

As I look out my window at the rivers of black

I wanna get out on the at highway and never come back

I set and wonder, has it all passed me by

Islands in the sky

Skyscraper temples way above the clouds

And a streetcorner preacher, shoutin' out loud

Nobody listens, and nobody cares

But everybody needs a dream

Everybody needs and island in the sky

Chorus:

Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky

Make a young boy's dreams, make an old man cry

Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky

(Repeat Chorus)

Someday I'll be there, I just don't know when

It's so far away now, but it won't be then

I don't know, I don't know

But everybody needs a dream

Everybody needs and island in the sky

(Repeat Chorus)
