Blue Skies
Tori Amos · IMA [1996]
ah, yeah
those blue skies in my head
blue skies are in my head
well, timebombs are marching
the soldier sighed,
says he 'Let's go, let's go, let's go
to this magic wonder show'
and I'm walking in, crawling out,
it's totally insane
blue skies are in my head
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(up ahead)
Which was it
I can see so
I can sing him a lullaby
Just when she's thinking 'I can see so
I can sing him a lullaby'
You can go just where she's going
Blue skies are in my head
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(up ahead)
Blue skies, only see blue skies out at night
Blue skies in my head
blue skies in my head
he said
blue skies in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(are up ahead)
those blue skies in my head
blue skies are in my head
well, timebombs are marching
the soldier sighed,
says he 'Let's go, let's go, let's go
to this magic wonder show'
and I'm walking in, crawling out,
it's totally insane
blue skies are in my head
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(up ahead)
Which was it
I can see so
I can sing him a lullaby
Just when she's thinking 'I can see so
I can sing him a lullaby'
You can go just where she's going
Blue skies are in my head
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies are in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(up ahead)
Blue skies, only see blue skies out at night
Blue skies in my head
blue skies in my head
he said
blue skies in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies in my head
(blue skies up ahead)
blue skies, blue skies
(are up ahead)
