Up From The Skies Lyrics

[00:02.79] I just want to talk to you, I won't do you no harm
[00:08.76] I just want to know about your different lives
[00:12.32] On this here people farm
[00:15.13] I heard some of you got your families, living in
[00:18.65] Cages tall and cold
[00:21.90] And some just stay there and dust away, past the
[00:26.31] Age of old
[00:29.74] Is this true? Please let me talk to you
[00:36.00] I just wanna know about, the rooms behind your minds
[00:42.04] Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?
[00:48.32] Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago
[00:54.97] Things like 'Love the World' and 'Let your fancy Flow'
[01:02.41] Is this true? Please let me talk to you, let me talk to you
[01:13.03] I have lived here before, the days of ice
[01:19.42] And of course this is why I'm so concerned
[01:25.43] And I come back to find the stars misplaced
[01:32.01] And the smell of a world that has burned
[01:38.94] The smell of a world that has burned
[01:44.08] Well, maybe, maybe it's just a change of climate
[01:57.80] I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see
[02:05.58] So where do I purchase my ticket
[02:07.68] I would just like to have a ringside seat
[02:11.45] I want to know about the new Mother Earth
[02:14.54] I want to hear and see everything
[02:17.89] I want to hear and see everything
[02:21.14] I want to hear and see everything
[02:24.64]
[02:39.72] Aw, shucks
[02:43.20] If my daddy could see me now
[02:44.75]
