Knocking at the Sky

Standing on the windowsill, walking in your sleep
On the street, sirens sang for you to take the leap
Thought that you were Icarus, or at least that you were Greek
To the people down below, you're just another freak

I would give my eyes away just to be the light
I'd burn off my fingerprints, start a brand-new life
I would trade my innocence, choke up on my pride
You can find me every night knocking at the sky

Singin', "La-la-la, ah"
Singin', "La-la-la, ah"
Singin', "La-la-la, ah"
Singin', "La-la-la, ah"

Women wept when you were gone, lay naked on the shore
A hero's death in chiffon trenches, who could ask for more?
And you would seek the mountains, or the moon where snow is born
To gaze upon the hydra and Athena in softcore

I would give my eyes away just to be the light
I'd burn off my fingerprints, start a brand new life
I would trade my innocence, choke up on my pride
You can find me every night knocking at the sky

Singin',"La-la-la, ah"
Singin', "La-la-la, ah"
Singin', La-la-la, ah"
Singin', "La-la-la, ah"

Honey, there's a seven-car pile-up
On the highway to my heart
And if I give you the green light
You promise you'll never come back?
You promise?

Oh, I rue the day (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
I ever left this place (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
I gave my headshots in (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
To Trashy's lingerie (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
I want my MTV (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
My grass, and my valet (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
It never rains on me (singin', "La-la-la, ah")
Oh, God I love L.A. (singin', "La-la-la, ah")

La-la, la-la-la, ah
La-la, la-la-la, ah
La-la, la-la-la, ah
La-la, la-la-la, ah

La-la, la-la-la, la
La-la, la-la-la, la
La-la, la-la-la, la

La-la
La-la
La-la
La-la
