Screamin’ At The Sky
© Drew James 2001

Hey little waterbug swimmin’ all alone
Crawlin’ on the surface of a dirty yellow pond
Didn’t see it lurkin’ in the water down below
Till it grabbed him by his skinny leg and wouldn’t let ‘im go

Whoa, no place to hide
Whoa, goin’ for a ride
Whoa, he said goodbye
Whoa, screamin’ at the sky

Poor boy lived up on imaginary hill
Poundin’ and a-chasin’ everything that gave a thrill
Middle age came and it caught him unawares
Kicked him in the teeth and it threw him down the stairs

Whoa, no place to hide
Whoa, goin’ for a ride
Whoa, he said goodbye
Whoa, screamin’ at the sky

Papa woke up with the devil on his mind
Now he’s fast asleep with an angel in his eye
Goodbye papa with the slammin’ of the door
Mama used to hate him now she loves him evermore

Whoa, no place to hide
Whoa, goin’ for a ride
Whoa, he said goodbye
Whoa, screamin’ at the sky

Whoa, no place to hide
Whoa, goin’ for a ride
The slamming of the door
Now she loves him evermore

Screaming at the Sky
