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
 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 greatest flower
 That I have ever devoured
 I ask for nothing given
 For nothing in return

 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
 Blue skies bring tears
