Look at me, I'm all alone
When bobcat brains and tiger bones
come running down the driveway in your eye
Lost beneath a tuft of flesh
that's barbed with tons of wire mesh
and ancient manuscript speaks of the Hieroglyphic Sky
The Hieroglyphic Sky is going to make you cry
A bead of urea will formulate in your eye
The Hieroglyphic Sky is going to make you cry
A bead of urea will formulate in your eye, woo hoo
Copyrighted catacombs
and surly kids from broken homes
begin to slowly fade away and die
What was once a bleak platoon
is now a bustling saloon
Three thousand weathered heads turn towards the hieroglyphic sky
The Hieroglyphic Sky is going to make you cry
A bead of urea will formulate in your eye
The Hieroglyphic Sky is going to make you cry
A bead of urea will formulate in your eye, woo hoo
