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
