The Handsome Family - Our Blue Sky Lyrics

Why do you dream of pearly white gates
High in the air where no bird flies?
No tree grows beyond the sky
Our blue sky

Why do you dream that worms and dogs
Hills and clouds are not like you?
Burning light that never dies
Our blue, spinning sky

Why do you leave a trail of death?
Air turns brown, trees fall down
Burn green fields and drive on by
Our blue sky

Could you love God if he didn't love you
More than rivers, snakes, or wind?
Could you share Heaven with black buzzing flies?
Our blue, spinning sky

What if this dream you dream with pigs
You dream with dirt and this is home?
Is it so wrong to love this light?
Our blue sky

Why do you leave a trail of death?
Air turns brown, trees fall down
Burn green fields and drive on by
Our blue sky
