Scared of the Sky (New York ending)

from Live at Pete's Candy Store by Fugitive Orchestra

/

lyrics

And nothing ever changes,
They’re rebuilding roads and rooms that feel like cages.
Well it’s hiding under bridges,
Whistling through the trees.
Don’t look for the answer in the books you’ve found,
Or in the summer breeze.

How can you believe what you believe without being scared of the sky?
How can you deceive, the way you’ve been deceived,
Without having tears in your eyes?

The suburbs sighed a symphony,
At night the gutters cry and the ocean weeps.
The pavements chatter senselessly,
While the buildings whisper lists of threats
Through panes of glass and crooked teeth.

How can you believe what you believe without being scared of the sky?
How can you deceive, the way you’ve been deceived,
Without having tears in your eyes?

And then you finally realise,
You’ve lived your life for someone you’ve never even met.
You were born unclean, or so it seems,
And there’s no way you’ll be getting out just yet.
You’re feeling so vulnerable, you feel just like a kid
And you’re so scared of dying, without ever having lived.

How can you believe what you believe without being scared of the sky?
How can you deceive, the way you’ve been deceived,
Without having tears in your eyes?
