Child Of The Sky Lyrics - Ptooff! - The Deviants

She walks in the teeth of the city where its neon ways are warm 

through all the laughing angels, and still she comes to harm 

But watch still and waiting you'll never see her cry 

For the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky 

All praises lead to silence 

As the beast mark stands revealed 

on the bearded ancient prophet 

is dragged of by his heels 

And they all crowd the platform 

and hope to see her die 

But the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky 

She laughs as they play their guilt game 

and pile up their dead 

And the flashing sign spells Zyklon 

as it burns above each head 

But the words are all spelled backwards 

and there is no use to try 

For the orphan of the earth is the child of the sky 

There never was no rainbow ask the preacher in disguise 

As he lays aside his shotgun and covers up his eyes 

And the hunchbacks proposition explains the reason why 

The orphan of the earth is the child of the sky 

In the end the antique picture cannot force the truth to tell 

and the days each grey and mindless form a private hell 

but don't ask any questions and you won't hear a lie 

As the Orphan of the earth is the child of the sky
