Clouds Lyrics - Singles - Go-betweens

The clouds are here 

They aren't up in the sky 

I cupped them with my hands 

And reached up high 

I said to these clouds 

"No more am I blind 

I have to see straight 

And that will make me unkind" 

Visions of blue, I'm angry, I'm wise 

And you, you're under cloudy skies 

Blue air I crave 

Blue air I breathe 

They once chopped my heart 

The way you chop a tree 

Told to equate 

Achievement with pain 

I took their top prize 

And paid them back with rain 

Visions of blue, I'm angry, I'm wise 

And you, you're under cloudy skies 

Blue air I crave 

Blue air I breathe 

They once chopped my heart 

The way you chop a tree 

Told to equate 

Achievement with pain 

I stole their top prize 

And paid them back with rain 

Visions of blue I'm angry I'm wise 

And you, you're under cloudy skies 

Visions of blue perverse and strong 

And you, you're under cloudy skies 

What I did once I now do everyday
