picture a bright blue ball just spinning
Spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
full of hope
full of grace
Is the human face
But afraid
We may our home to waste
Theres a fear down here we cant forget hasnt got a name just yet
Always awake
Always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
By and by again
The morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some mens eyes
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Stalking turf
Dividing up meat
Nightmare spook
Piece of heat
You and me
You and me
Click
flashblade in ghetto night rudies looking for a fight
Rat cat alley roll them bones need that cash to feed that jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes
Ashes all fall down
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price
Money green or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance
They shake their bones
While the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes
Ashes all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirits sleeping
Then the flesh is ink
Historys page
It is thusly carved in stone
The futures here
We are it
We are on our own
If the game is lost then were all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or this shinning ball of blue we can call our home
So the kids they dance
They shake their bones
While the politicians are throwing stones
Singing ashes
Ashes all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing "black goes south while white comes north"
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing "i got mine and you got yours"
And the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step
fall out of grace
And the radical he rant and rage
Singing "someone got to turn the page"
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing "just leave well enough alone"
But his pants are down
His covers blown
And the politicians are throwing stones
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
Cause its all too clear were on our own
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning
Spinning free
Its dizzying
The possibilities ashes
Ashes all fall down
