Cloudkicker

Thought I'd be an effigy

All they saw were splintering bones

Now there's nothing left of me

It's been that way for far too long

Wanted to go out with a bang

'Til they came and put me away

Now I'm bouncing off the walls

It's been that way for far too long

I just wanted the sky

So I put all my pies in a high rise

Apartment in the sky

I just wanted the sky so I climbed up to make an impact

And all I achieved... Now they're cleaning the street

Thought I'd leave an imprint on more than cement

To all the people hurrying home

They didn't notice a thing

It's been that way for far too long

Thought I'd leave a legacy after me

Jumping to a different drum

Now they push my memory away

It's been that way for far too long

I just wanted the sky

So I put all my pies in a high rise

Apartment in the sky

I just wanted the sky so I climbed up to make an impact

And all I achieved... Now they're cleaning the street

I just wanted the sky
