This is the first one I’ve done on my own, and now I have a backlog of half a dozen or more. I hope you like them. I am putting the audio out the day before the post that the song will appear in so that I can link to it tomorrow; whatever tomorrow that might be as time goes by.
Right! Right! The lyrics;
Poor Michelangelo came and went
He'd like to come back but the art world's bent
no angels are drinking the sleep from his eyes
in a world of beautiful lies
They point to a thing that doesn't exist
they tell you it's real. oh they insist
but you can see it's not really there
and what's your problem..? nobody cares
I slept through my life
and never got wise
no angels were drinking
the sleep from my eyes
in a world filled with beautiful lies
in a world filled with beautiful lies
the truth that we knew it came and went
that's not the truth it's not what I meant
I'm trying to wash the sleep from my eyes
in a world of beautiful lies
forever and ever and where does it end
in empty places no one can name
in ignorant wars no one can win
but hey we've still got original sin
I slept through my life
and never got wise
no angels were drinking
the sleep from my eyes
in a world filled with beautiful lies
in a world filled with beautiful lies
We don't know if its real or not
will it be better than what we got
was it a voice I heard in the crowds
the substance of dreams is like clouds
it's so very simple you learn to stand still
life is an ocean and you drink your fill
and the angels are happy you're no longer lost
In a world of beautiful lies
I woke up in life
I'm much wiser now
cause angels are drinking
the sleep from my eyes
and there are no more beautiful lies
and there are no more beautiful lies
yes there are no more beautiful lies
close your eyes and you will see
and you don't have to listen to me.
