You tried to make good Hiding out in the neighbourhood Getting by and it's understood There's no time Like the time right before the flood You get high to feel your love It's alright so you need the crutch Step aside wonder what's up You close your eyes You see you've missed so much Bring on the blue sky You can fly in your dreams Floating by the black and white scenery Take a drive where lovers leap Only to arrive dead on your feet Bring on the blue sky The paint is peeling off The hood of this old truck As you drive into the West Where the eye of God is sinking fast
