The Dead Milkmen - Buried in the Sky lyrics
[The Dead Milkmen - Buried in the Sky lyrics]
Searched behind the cushions
Found a dollar thirty-five
Every day I wonder how we manage to survive
In the kitchen flies are buzzin'
Like bees in a hive
World keeps turnin' doesn't care if
We live or we die
There ain’t no magic Jesus
Wipe those tears from your eyes
There ain’t no magic Jesus
Gonna hold you when you cry
I’ll do some shots, you'll drink some wine
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
There ain’t no host of angels
Gonna sing you off sleep
There ain’t no host of angels
Gonna make your dreamin’ sweet
You'll forge some checks
And I'll tell some lies
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
Stood in line at the ATM just
To find the well was dry
I’ve seen all those charts and graphs
But I still don’t understand why
Late at night when the car alarms
Bark I can hear you sigh
Late at night when the car alarms bark
It feels like the world has died
There ain't no guiding force
Behind the universe
And I think that if there was
It would only make things worse
You'll fill out the forms, I'll stand in line
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
There ain’t no guardian angle
Gonna hover over you
And there ain’t no guardian angle could
Ever love you like I do
You'll get to wear your new dress and
I’ll get to wear my tie
When it’s all over we'll be buried in the sky
Found a dollar thirty-five
Every day I wonder how we manage to survive
In the kitchen flies are buzzin'
Like bees in a hive
World keeps turnin' doesn't care if
We live or we die
There ain’t no magic Jesus
Wipe those tears from your eyes
There ain’t no magic Jesus
Gonna hold you when you cry
I’ll do some shots, you'll drink some wine
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
There ain’t no host of angels
Gonna sing you off sleep
There ain’t no host of angels
Gonna make your dreamin’ sweet
You'll forge some checks
And I'll tell some lies
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
Stood in line at the ATM just
To find the well was dry
I’ve seen all those charts and graphs
But I still don’t understand why
Late at night when the car alarms
Bark I can hear you sigh
Late at night when the car alarms bark
It feels like the world has died
There ain't no guiding force
Behind the universe
And I think that if there was
It would only make things worse
You'll fill out the forms, I'll stand in line
And when it's all over we'll
Be buried in the sky
There ain’t no guardian angle
Gonna hover over you
And there ain’t no guardian angle could
Ever love you like I do
You'll get to wear your new dress and
I’ll get to wear my tie
When it’s all over we'll be buried in the sky
