Earth and Sky

When I saw the biscuit mix on the counter top
I wondered why she told me
Those biscuits were made from scratch
This set off a chain reaction, now I doubt her word
Laughing at her advice about living in the now
This set off a chain reaction, now I doubt her word
So soon after we made our vows
Becoming intolerant - over a frivolous falsehood

She cloved her breath, I stopped to think
What year is this, what century?
Now chamber music with a techno beat
Came from a gizmo hooked to her head

The berries of the hop turn into a brew
We consume buckets til the world spins
The berries of the hop turn into a brew
And we go out into the purple night

Seeing purple rain in 84 and hearing the beautiful ones over and over
Now the earth and sky seem to conspire

Watching the Maltese Falcon
Turn into a bloated idiot
We fell for our conceits
It's not how much she knew or didn't know
Or stole from the tip jar
I fell for information
A heart made of quotes

Now the earth and sky
The stuff that dreams are made of
The bluffs you made
The cards you played
Holding earth and sky

Now the earth and sky seem to conspire
