The clouds are here   They aren't up in the sky   I cupped them with my hands   And reached up high      I said to these clouds   "No more am I blind   I have to see straight   And that will make me unkind"      Visions of blue, I'm angry, I'm wise   And you, you're under cloudy skies      Blue air I crave   Blue air I breathe   They once chopped my heart   The way you chop a tree      Told to equate   Achievement with pain   I took their top prize   And paid them back with rain      Visions of blue, I'm angry, I'm wise   And you, you're under cloudy skies      Blue air I crave   Blue air I breathe   They once chopped my heart   The way you chop a tree      Told to equate   Achievement with pain   I stole their top prize   And paid them back with rain      Visions of blue I'm angry I'm wise   And you, you're under cloudy skies      Visions of blue perverse and strong   And you, you're under cloudy skies   What I did once I now do everyday
