Vanity Skies

 

Lyrics & music by

Rick Springfield & Matt Bissonette


Yellow plaster cracking

Above my eyes

Umbrella vaccine

Shoot me up inside

Only television

Gonna make it right

Cinderella passing

Is blowing my mind

 

Beyond that crystal

Do you find it superficial

When it detonates a nation

Though it's not your imagination

 

See a master crashing

You've served that kind

Beneath the roof collapsing

Fight all your despise

Phony mass submission

Wanna flee or fight

Black veil unmasking

Keep blowing my mind

 

Inside that pistol

Is a supersonic missile

Like a frightful home invasion

Yeah it's worth a conversation

 

Oh humanity finds

Nothing inside vanity skies

So dramatically high

Only to find there's nothing there

Lying and buying and trying and dying

To get to nowhere

 

On a massive mission

Kill the beast tonight

In this man's condition

It's all black and white

With a twisted vision

Will it burn my sight

Like a lone assassin

Still blowing my mind

 

Beyond that crystal

Do you find it superficial

When it detonates a nation

Though it's not your imagination

Inside that pistol

Is a supersonic missile

Like a frightful home invasion

Yeah it's worth a conversation

 

Oh humanity finds

Nothing inside vanity skies

So dramatically high

Only to find there's nothing there

Oh you tragically try

So hard to fly where gravity hides

Go calamity eyes

Look over there there's so much to fear

Oh humanity kind

All is a lie vanity sky

So dramatically high

Hope you will find there's nothing there

Oh you tragically try

Pray you will find where gravity hides

Go calamity eyes

Look over here there's nothing to fear

Lying and buying and trying and dying

To get to nowhere
