It’s just a cloud...

LYRICS:
Let me
Tell you all this story
Full of hubris and greed
Though perhaps it didn’t happen
Quite so literally
It’s a cautionary tale
We all know who’s to blame
As our hero is the villain
Always there when it rains

It’s just a cloud
As harmless as can be
A cloud
Until he’s over me
A cloud
A cloud

Can't get no sleep
All this thinking’s
Crucifying my brain
So I wrote myself a letter
Where I tried explain
That it's all part of the cycle
Round again and again
Evaporate, precipitate condense into rain

Inside the clouds
They’re floating in the breeze
The clouds
High up above the trees

Start running away
From where the monster lives in me

When you should have stayed in bed
This is just not your day
And they’re holding you to ransom
‘Cause your patch was too late
And ‘cause no-one ever cared
When you had other plans
It's like trying to tell your fortune
From the back of your hand

And
I’m floating in a world
Of my own make-believe
That's abstracted
From the distractions
Of reality
But now I understand things
That are normally far beyond me
I'm the silicone Jesus
Hear them praying to me

Up in the clouds

And no-one wanted this to happen
They promised we'd all be ok
And stronger if we stood together
And all behaved the same
And now they've got us here
There's no way to get out
Before this all burns down

I am
Blinded stuck
In total disarray
It’s like sleeping with a stranger
Who's forgotten your name
You’d better start making excuses
When it’s your turn to pay
Who will be your next shepherd
What will lead you astray
To the next big thing
Never live for today
When there’s always something better
Just a phone call away
But soon you will have to answer
On your reckoning day
You sold us all a promise
That was too big to fail
And called it cloud
