Lyrics:
MACKEREL SKY
I look out my window
All I see is a Mackerel Sky
Low as the wind blows
I can feel the tears in my eyes
Where - Moist air
Reaches
it's supposed to be, but I gotta say
I keep getting lost in the mackerel sky
But my spirit's high, I'll find my way around
Waves of silver dust,
Fe
Had a birthday in Bombay
Mackerel skies in Molokai
Fishing out these rhymes
The mountain has made up its mind
Take the provision and heart in turn
the wind
Mackerel sky, mackerel sky
Never long wet and never long dry
Silver scales, grey mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails
Splayed out in
I can't recover
I want to throw our story high
But too many words to sky-write
Of acrobats and liars
Paper moons in mackerel skies
Ten years fly
7-Eleven, Eleven Seven,
7-Eleven, Eleven STOP!
The last time I cried
There was a mackerel sky
And it wasn't so long ago
The last time we spoke
I was
or wonderful
Than on a warm fall night
Under a Mackerel sky,
The smell of grapes on the wind?
Well I have known all these things
And the joys that they
Riddler Riddler ask me why
The birds fly free on a mackerel sky
Ask me whither goes the wind
Whence the endless tick-tick stream begins
Puts her foot down under the mackerel sky
She eases off
Exiting the gyratory
Heading west between the hawthorns
Fifty, forty, thirty
Turning off
Dying with the high sparrow
With something you really know.
Staring at the mackerel sky,
Remember, you smoked on the sly
Waiting for nothing, drawing
(Only you and I)
Sparking stars, mackerel sky I give you everything, why are you shy?
Like a girl needs a boy, I need your lips, I need your all.
Angel
Filtering through leaves so
bright
Lighting our way
To an awesome Pilbara night
And when the neon moon
Peers through a hazy mackerel sky
Memories of you
I'll never deny oh oh
My breath is taken by God's cabaret as the sun sinks down on a golden day
And the weary sea rolls up to the mackerel sky to kiss one more day goodbye
on the elm tree in back
The mezuzah in front and the books in the stack?
Now I walk to work under a mackerel sky
The tears start to slide, I can't fathom why
You can talk about your mackerel sky
You can talk about your wind
Woo hoo
You can say that the winters are Kinder
And in the summer we might see
beneath a mackerel sky
cnd listen to the gulls just wheeling by......
Refrain:
So please take the ribbon from my hair and comb out all the tangles
Try
at a mackerel sky
Satellites that blink and spy
Calling out each others’ lies
Stories we mark classified
Talkin’ ‘bout the by-and-by
Place bets on the rising tide
hates herself
But this is not my mess
She would feign help, eventually faking prayers
Like a preacher in Tuesday's Night Club
I painted her a mackerel
a spell and holds me hypnotized
Kites in a mackerel sky as we'd ride across the town on your bike
The river lay still and mirrored the clouds
It's funny
born
Those days, when I was a child
As I look back it seems like only yesterday
When I was your age
As a golden red sun sets in a mackerel sky
On long
Sail my search with the head on a hound
Your ghost kicks on the banks to where it's bound
A howl to your blue heaven, tears a hole in the mackerel
And briefly I surrender to reflection
And float subconscious in the mackerel skies
The grey streets bend to the rainbows end
Where the green fields greet me
fell from the sky
It rained mackerel, it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
And the poker's in the fire
fell from the sky
It rained mackerel, it rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
And the poker's in the fire
