Buried in the Sky

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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
