JEFF BUCKLEY LYRICS - The Sky Is A Landfill

"The Sky Is A Landfill"



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 won't remove

We cast our funeral rose inside

And bury the need to prove

Our mutilation is to gain from the system



Ooh, turn your head away

From the screen, oh people

It will tell you nothing more

Don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K.

Public's 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

Let's see you take another drag



You like to dance to the rolling

Head of the adulteress

You sing in praise of suicide

We know you're 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 Mister 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

We'll 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

I see you take another drag

I see you take another drag

I have no fear of this machine!
