lyrics

great poem in the sky, i can’t put a tune to your words
they don’t go down so easy, they can’t come thru in free verse
great poem in the sky, you taught me all the harmonies
you taught me how to sing them, and how to stay in tune

so why haven’t i listened to you
my melodies are nice but they’re not true
and why haven’t i memorized the song
my life is short, the piece is very long

great poem in the sky, i try to understand you
but each interpretation just obscures
great poem in the sky, my little artist’s ego
might never find the truth behind the words

so why haven’t i listened to you
my melodies are beautiful but they’re not true
and why haven’t i memorized the song
i’m probably afraid i’ll get it wrong
my life is short, the poem is very long

Love My Life
by Inspector 34

supported by 4 fans who also own “Great Poem in the Sky”

most people would just retire after they make an album as good as IT IS GRAVY, but not INSPECTOR XXXIV! GRAVY had sounded like a direct confrontation with the realities of a quotidian existence, whereas LOVE MY LIFE is dreamier and more otherworldly. actionhasnovirtue
