Paved in bone, blessed are these highways that carry us home Pale white eyes, like children we desperately reach for the sky Singin, "everything dies but what then? everything dies but is that the end" My brother is your brother too Teach her of shame show her love Betray all her trust, teach her to love Deep in that coma blue sky I saw my life passing me by Feeling the fires recede And let that deep coma blue sky wash over me Blessed be the highways that carry us on Through the desert and into the sea Well he picks all the roses that grow by the overpass And gathers them all round my feet There's no funeral lullaby, sad goodbye lullaby tune My daddy's prayin those 6 string prayers Because even heaven sings the blues Maybe all our skin will turn to dust Baby all our skin will turn to dust And leave our hearts behind
