Lyrics

The Chromium Sky


Verse:
I looked up
There was a chromium sky
I grabbed my lithium wings
And downtown I did fly

Verse:
To your platinum tower
On Palladium Lane
You said,?Now, isn?t it strange,
How the weather has changed??

Bridge:
I was a scientist
From the wrong side of the lab
You were a performance artist who worked in plaid
We met on the moon
By a crater lake
As the spacebirds crooned
I thought we?d always be happy
Ooh, ooh, always be happy

Verse:
We got out of town
On a rhenium train
They were looking for us
On a rhodium bus

Verse:
We stepped off to make love
In the Radium Hotel
We started to play
And then you melted away

Bridge:
I was a scientist
From the wrong side of the lab
You were a performance artist who worked in plaid
We met on the moon
By a crater lake
As the spacebirds crooned
I thought we?d always be happy
Ooh, ooh, always be happy

Verse:
Now I?m adrift
In the chromium sky
I use my cadmium phone
To tell the world I?m alone

Verse:
I stare at the moon
But I?ve lost my wings
No longer to fly
Through the chromium sky
