True story

lyrics

Scratch The Sky

We went to see the band in a ’68 Cadillac Sedan
with letters on the side
that said “Nazi Punks Fuck Off.”
We were flying through the clouds
on our very first trips up to the moon-
or the Cleveland Coliseum, to be precise.

Oh my oh my
did you ever get so high
you derailed the trains of thought that you were riding?
Oh my oh my you could scratch the sky
and find the thoughts you thought you lost were only hiding.

You could go overseas and climb around up in the trees
that grow inside your mind with proper maintenance and water.
Take a slow train to Moravia and pray with the Blessed Savior
as she melts away the glories of your youth.

Oh my oh my
did you ever get so high
you derailed the trains of thought that you were riding?
Oh my oh my you could scratch the sky
and find the thoughts you thought you lost were only hiding.
Hiding, quit hiding

Travel up into the Hi-Desert
You can probably get there from the Low Desert.
Don’t get angry with yourself
Take some time to learn your self

In my country we get away with lots of things
including fixing elections and killing presidents.
Everybody makes a big stink.
Then two days later were back
to Martin Luther drinKing the Amnesia Kool-aid

Oh my oh my
did you ever get so high
you derailed the trains of thought that you were riding?
Oh my oh my you could scratch the sky
and find the thoughts you thought you lost were only hiding
Oh my oh my if you scratch the sky
you’ll find the thoughts you thought were lost
were only hiding, hiding, quit hiding.
