Song Lyrics

Big sky, big sky holding up the sun
big sky, big sky holding up the moon
Big sky holding down the sea
but it can`t hold us down anymore

Big sky holding up the stars
big sky holding Venus and Mars
Big sky catch you in a jar
but it can`t hold us down anymore

Big sky, big enormous place
big wind blow all over the place
Big storm wrecking havoc and waste
but it can`t hold us down anymore

Ooohhh, big goals, big ambitious goals
big talk, talking till I fold
Big wind talking through torrential love
but it can`t hold us down anymore

Big sin, big sin, big original sin
paradise where I`ve never been
Big snake break the skin
but you can`t hold us down anymore

A big house holds a family
a big room it holds you and me
It`s a big mess and baby makes three
and you can`t hold us down anymore

Big news, they`re out of their heads
big-big-big news, let`s fuck them instead
There`s a big joke did they think we were monks
but they can`t hold us down anymore

A big doll, big enormous eyes
big love holds you in a vise
A big man who cut them down to size
they can`t hold us down anymore

Big sky, big sky holding up the sun
big sky holding, holding up the moon
Big sky holding down the sea
but it can`t hold us down anymore

Oh, big doll, big enormous eyes
big love holds you in a vise
A big man who cut them down to size, ah
they can`t hold us down anymore

Oh-oh, big sky
big sky
Big sky
ah, they can`t hold us down anymore
