How we forget We've been through this a thousand times Or more Till it comes to pass There's still sand in our glass Clouds in the sky Now I know where you come from I drove by Just the other day Cloud factory You're so tall like a beanstalk But your clouds They're all made of lead At least that's what the man said But still we close our eyes And the oil on the water Matches the rainbow in the sky High in the sky Tears in my eyes There's a black trail running down To the sea Try to ignore All the signs of the dying And you'll end up dead Way before your time Did you read the signs? But still we close our eyes And the oil on the water Matches the rainbow in the sky High in the sky Did you read the signs? But still we close our eyes And the oil on the water Matches the rainbow in the sky High in the sky
