Piece of the sky

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

I met a Buddhist girl out on a road trip
Who showed me how she chants for her cocaine
She said get on board her special spaceship
And fly away to where there's no more pain

She claims to own a piece
She claims to own a piece
She claims to own a piece of the sky

I met a man who specialized in blackmail
He said his savior told him that's just fine
As long as you will blindly follow his trail
You can get a special place in line

He claims to own a piece
He claims to own a piece
He claims to own a piece of the sky

I saw a bright eyed child up in an oak tree
He called to me and said "Hey match me fly"
He fell into my arms and looked up at me
Innocents will always ask you why

You can't grab a piece
You can't touch a piece
You can't own a piece of the sky

No one owns a piece
No one owns a piece
No one owns a piece of the sky
