Knocking at the Sky

Knocking at the Sky

Standing on the windowsill, walking in your sleep On the street, sirens sang for you to take the leap Thought that you were Icarus, or at least that you were Greek To the people down below, you're just another freak I would give my eyes away just to be the light I'd burn off my fingerprints, start a brand-new life I would trade my innocence, choke up on my pride You can find me every night knocking at the sky Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Women wept when you were gone, lay naked on the shore A hero's death in chiffon trenches, who could ask for more? And you would seek the mountains, or the moon where snow is born To gaze upon the hydra and Athena in softcore I would give my eyes away just to be the light I'd burn off my fingerprints, start a brand new life I would trade my innocence, choke up on my pride You can find me every night knocking at the sky Singin',"La-la-la, ah" Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Singin', La-la-la, ah" Singin', "La-la-la, ah" Honey, there's a seven-car pile-up On the highway to my heart And if I give you the green light You promise you'll never come back? You promise? Oh, I rue the day (singin', "La-la-la, ah") I ever left this place (singin', "La-la-la, ah") I gave my headshots in (singin', "La-la-la, ah") To Trashy's lingerie (singin', "La-la-la, ah") I want my MTV (singin', "La-la-la, ah") My grass, and my valet (singin', "La-la-la, ah") It never rains on me (singin', "La-la-la, ah") Oh, God I love L.A. (singin', "La-la-la, ah") La-la, la-la-la, ah La-la, la-la-la, ah La-la, la-la-la, ah La-la, la-la-la, ah La-la, la-la-la, la La-la, la-la-la, la La-la, la-la-la, la La-la La-la La-la La-la
