Buried in the Sky

[Verse 1]
Searched behind the cushions, found a dollar thirty-five
Every day I wonder how we manage to survive
In the kitchen flies are buzzin' like bees in a hive
World keeps turnin' doesn't care if we live or we die

[Chorus]
There ain’t no magic Jesus, wipe those tears from your eyes
There ain’t no magic Jesus, gonna hold you when you cry
I’ll do some shots, you'll drink some wine
And when it's all over we'll be buried in the sky
There ain’t no host of angels gonna sing you off sleep
There ain’t no host of angels gonna make your dreamin’ sweet
You'll forge some checks, and I'll tell some lies
And when it's all over we'll be buried in the sky

[Verse 2]
Stood in line at the ATM just to find the well was dry
I’ve seen all those charts and graphs but I still don’t understand why
Late at night when the car alarms bark I can hear you sigh
Late at night when the car alarms bark it feels like the world has died

[Chorus]
There ain't no guiding force behind the universe
And I think that if there was it would only make things worse
You'll fill out the forms, I'll stand in line
And when it's all over we'll be buried in the sky
There ain’t no guardian angle gonna hover over you
And there ain’t no guardian angle could ever love you like I do
You'll get to wear your new dress and I’ll get to wear my tie
When it’s all over we'll be buried in the sky
