Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That you cradle the sun, suffer life again
Living in remorse
Sky is over
[Verse 3]
Don't you want to hold me, baby?
Disappointed, going crazy
[Verse 4]
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't want to see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
[Verse 5]
Behind closed eyes lie the minds ready to awaken you
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
[Verse 6]
Don't you want to hold me, baby?
Disappointed, going crazy
[Verse 7]
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, la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 8]
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun
Don't you want me to run?
[Verse 9]
Even though you can't afford, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't want to see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
[Verse 10]
I don't want to see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
I don't want to see you go, the sky is over
Even though we can't afford, the sky is over
The sky is over us
