[Intro]
And the snakes line in the sky from beyond
When we have no longer paid attention to what's going on
The sky will be over
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That you cradle the sun
Living in remorse
Sky is over

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you want to hold me, baby?
Disappointed, going crazy

[Chorus]
Even though you can't afford, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't wanna see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over

[Verse 2]
Behind closed eyes lie, the mind's ready to awaken us
Are you at war with land and all of its creatures?
Your not-so-gentle persuasion has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you want to hold me, baby?
Disappointed, going crazy

[Bridge]
La, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Don't you want me to run?

[Chorus]
Even though you can't afford, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't wanna see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is

[Outro]
I don't wanna see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't wanna see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
The sky is over us
