Sky Babies Lyrics - Wildhearts

back on my planet, they laugh at my jokes, and everyone drinks and everyone smokes 

no-one speaks 'less there's something to say, there's no posh words just telecommunique 

back on my planet you cannot tell lies, 'cos everyone would see it by the look in your eye 

parties that last for a couple of days, no one sleeps cos beds are prohibited 

back on my planet, silence is granted 

we're laughing at the earthlings 

back on my planet, back on my planet 

(and meanwhile) 

back on my planet where dinosaurs roam, and uncut TV beaming into your home 

as Mother Nature being eager and free, money don't talk just givin' ability 

back on my planet, rules are all slanted 

we're tokin' to be broken 

back on my planet, back on my planet, back on my planet... 

take a trip down an open road, all the eyes on an evening star 

gets to move a bit closer to the ground, like night at play 

wanna know what I need to know, wanna see that we ain't in charge 

where the superpowers will try to run it down 

all alone, you're not alone 

'cos it's a meeting time for a different neighbour,small and slight and grey 

something going on, something going on, something going on... 

look into those eyes, it comes as no surprise 

it's little more than science fiction the government replies 

they could be taking our daughters, they could be taking our ladies, making 

sky babies, sky babies, sky babies 

I, I'm looking at the sky tonight, everything clear defined, just like the last time 

all ideas inside my head, anything like a real one? 

I'm looking from the floor tonight, weary of humankind 

tired of the chains that bind, wasting time on diatribe 

and all the time the walls are closing in, I'm feeling stuck inside again 

with something more divine than suicide, more generous than faith 

cos when I get to see a new sun arive, I'll be myself, blame it on the other side 

I'll slip away, I'll do it with ease, I'll take a cheap seat, please... 

CHORUS: 

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know 

so won't you take me with you when you go? 

and there's a million feelings I wanna show 

if you take me with you when you go 

yesterdays dreams don't mean nothing it seems, 'cos the big life keeps them waiting 

and the people we find with a polythene mind, they just don't care at all 

and the [halcyon] days of innocence stays as a memory plays it one more 

time, here today, gone tomorrow 

this is it in layman's terms, phenomenon of UFOs 

is well acknowledged by the state but secret to the president 

employed to be a public face and keep the public feeling safe 

but higher powers in the government hide something a million times 

the size of the killing of JFK, the CIA are aware that higher 

powers exist with untold knowledge of life and death dimension, it could 

alter public awareness of religion, which is the only faith 

that keeps us all in true control, and that's why we can never know... 

they're shaking, and they're fucking us again 

'cos you're the on-ly one thing I-wanna... know 

CHORUS: 

so won't you take me with you when you go? 

and there's a million feelings I wanna show 

if you take me with you when you go 

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know 

if you take me with you when you go 

and there's a million feelings I wanna show 

if you take me with you when you go 

'cos you're the only one thing I wanna know...
