Skywriting

Sitting by candlelight Sucking back kryptonite in vain Used up message tape nowhere to escape Locked in my chair Watching my silhouette Sucking back cigarettes in peace The golden age of call display is thankfully here And I see your mouth moving But suddenly I think I'm deaf Yeah I used to hear you but All your talk is cheap skywriting It's big and bold until the smoke has cleared A gust of wind and words are re-arranging And suddenly the message disappears Cranking my radio Drowning out Romeo with bass It's thundering and quieting I'm riding the storm I see you scream at me But I pretend I'm somewhere else Yeah I used to hear you but All your talk is cheap skywriting It's big and bold until the smoke has cleared A gust of wind and words are re-arranging And suddenly the message is Non-essential information A hurricane of aggravation Your head is high above the clouds Go write a best-seller now I thought I heard something But maybe it was just a dream I used to hear you but now I know All your talk is cheap skywriting It's big and bold until the smoke has cleared A gust of wind and words are re-arranging And suddenly the message just disappears All your talk is cheap skywriting It's big and bold until the smoke has cleared A gust of wind and words are re-arranging And suddenly the message just disappears Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up 'cause I give up now Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up 'cause I give up now Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up 'cause I give up now Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up shut up, just shut the hell up
