From the recording Gone to the Clouds
Lyrics
Welcome sons and daughters,
Applicants of honors,
we only take the ones who make us laugh
Somersaults and tangerines,
Blue Sangria jelly beans,
And feathered wings will keep us clean when skiing on the clouds
Crowns of gold with gems of green
Bounce around our feet
'Cause we don't need such flashy things to dance around the tops of trees
Dance around like kings and queens
Dance like we believe we're here to stay
Silent songs and fattened fables
Passed around the table
Talking of the better and the letter of the One
Just as good as all they say
But still they be afraid of the
Last inauguration, as they gaze into the sun some days
Gazing up, and someone prays
Gaze upon your life and then they’ll say
(Chorus)
He went up into the great sky, great high
He went up into the light
Things he didn’t see
And never had a chance to be, it’s all gone now
Wish we might invite you to a
Trailer view tonight
But some decisions can’t be so informed
Instead we’ll tell you what it is that
Gives our name delight
We take away the definitions, no such words as wrong and right
Take away your fear of heights
Take away your life and then they’ll say
(Chorus)
He went up into the great sky, great high
He went up into the light
Things he didn’t see
And never had a chance to be, it’s all gone now
All gone now
All gone to the clouds
It goes up
It goes down
And it spins me all around
If I let my head go tumbling now I’ll get to see the kingdom come
See where all the good comes from
See what its about and then they’ll say
(Chorus)
He went up into the great sky, great high
He went up into the light
Things he didn’t see
And never had a chance to be, it’s all gone now
All gone now
All gone to the clouds
