Follow the leader run the churn into butter

There's a problem feathers iron

Bargain buildings weights and pullies

Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air

F G F Fmaj7
(It's over It's over me ..... )
There's the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building towered foresight isn't anything at all
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
Am F
Well I could keep it above
Am G Am
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
F Dm G
So if I send it to you you've got to promise to keep it home
Dm G C Am
G C Am
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
Dm G
And ask the sky and ask the sky (Chorus again)
