Blue Skies Bring Tears

Smashing Pumpkins

Unleash the Armageddon

So all the children go to heaven

I sit by quiet still with their pictures on my eyes

You'll draw the guns you're given

Write down the words as written

And never disturb the presence of resurrection crutch

And it's about time

It's about drawing near

Blue skies bring tears

Blue skies bring tears

Descend the darkened stairways

Make hate with plastic playmates

And fire out remaining traces of your self esteem

Mainline the deepest secrets

Lick clean the dirty fingers

I am a stranger to you as you are to yourself

And it's about time

It's about fear

Blue skies bring tears

Don't you want me

As I awake the city sigh

We'll watch the seasons die

Blue skies bring tears

Take me inside your body

Cover me with your soul

To the darkest recess

Is where I wish to go

You are the sweetest flower

That I have ever devoured

I ask for nothing given

For nothing in return

Blue skies bring tears
