THE WILDHEARTS - SKY BABIES lyrics

rate me

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 posh words just telecommunique

back on my planet you cannot tell lies, 'cos everyone would see it by the look in your eye

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, and uncut TV beaming into your home

as Mother Nature being eager and free, money don't talk just givin' ability

back on my planet, rules are all slanted

we're tokin' to be broken

back on my planet, back on my planet, back on my planet...

take a trip down an open road, all 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

something going on, something going on, 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

with something more divine than suicide, more generous than faith

cos when I get to see a new sun arive, 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...

CHORUS:

'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

yesterdays 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 of innocence stays 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 state 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 on-ly one thing I-wanna... know

CHORUS:

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

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know...
