MOVING SKY

The sky is moving - big changes coming
The father's calm waiting out the troubles
I took my baby to the panhandle
We kept on moving when her language caused a scandal
The sky is bleeding - my mama's empty
Afraid to open the care package that she sent me
I reach for heaven - I'm reaching up above
Somebody told me there's a power in love

I took my baby up to the northwest
I wore no tie just a snap collar and a suede vest
Men started flying just like the pigeons
But the women grew heavy - and they just couldn't catch em
I took my baby to the quadrangle
Every time we made love I was looking for an angle
I took my lunch I took it with me
I ate my brains, my heart and then my kidney

I took my baby to New York City
Oh from a distance the city is so pretty
The streets were shiny - the police like phantoms
Playing three card monte and I couldn't get my hand in
The sky is crying just like a baby
Screaming isn't there anybody gonna save me
I took my guitar down from the shelf
Strummed one sad chord and I reinvent myself

The sky is moving - big changes coming
The son is calm while he causes all the trouble
I dress my baby in miniskirt and sandals
She's burning incenses while I cover her with candles
The sky is crying the emperor so needy
The lips of his concubine they are bloody red and greedy
I'm just a man with nothing left to prove
Everything to live for and nothing to lose
Hey hey hey...
