Jeff Buckley - The Sky Is A Landfill (1997)

Lyrics:

Circle around the park, joining hands in silence
We watched the evil black the sky
The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow
This power is no mystery to us now
Leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't
remove
We cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove
Well, our mutilation is to gain from the system
Turn your head away from the screen, oh people
It will tell you nothing more
Don't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K. Public's empty promise
To the people that the public can ignore.
This way of life is so devised to snuff out
the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise
and women have learned to lose
Throw off your shame or be a slave to the system!
We see you take another drag
One more lost soul to raise your flag
The sky is a landfill!
We see you take another drag
We see you take another drag
You like to dance to the rolling head of the adultress
You sing in praise of suicide
We know you're useless
Like cops at the scene of the crime
With your steroids and your feedbag and your stable
and your trainer
I`ve got a mail bomb for you Mr Strong Arm
Roll out the stones from all the cemetery homes
For the violence of a nation gone by
For the politics of weakness and the garbage dump of souls
That will now black the sky
Their yellow haze and crowds of eyes
will plug up the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise
and women have learned to lose
We'll share our bodies in disdain for the system
Oh, we see you take another drag
One nation bends to kiss the hag
The sky is a landfill
Oh, we see you take another drag, we see you take another drag
I have no fear of this machine.

[rrescozoo5]

I see you take another drag > guitar line at 2:18 is too good!

[ReburntStudios]

Jeff is a prophet in music, and he was extremely innovative... though he does cover some simple songs, he puts more emotion into each song than sometimes even the original recording artists. Such good can only be accompanied with such bad... and yes we will never have another Jeff Buckley.

[Orallyinclined]

@aliyaallibhai try "So Real", "Grace", "Everybody Here Wants You", "Forget Her", and "Mojo Pin"

[hippymusicman88]

amazing lyrics.. nearly every line resonates with how I feel..

To know you feel like somebody else is a very beautiful thing.

I feel like this man had important messages to share..

I hear you man..
