Sky City

by Songwriter X and the Skeleton Band

No slick Hollywood agency here. All the songs are recorded in our home studio and all the videos are crafted by Songwriter X and his wife Susi in our own place, at our own pace.

Life’s a journey from Spring to fall / and then in winter we begin to fold
Close the hatchet for the coming year /  writing to rock when the coast is clear.
Good to go, we’re on the road again / smell the flowers like when we were friends
Trying to get the all elusive ring /  And when it ends, it shall all begin.

We’re going to Sky City - gonna make my mark
We’re going to Sky City - cuz i try so hard
We’re going to Sky City- gonna bring guitar
We’re going to Sky City - gonna be a star.

It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or right / all that matters is that we try and try
Give your soul to the coming year / and we shout to the atmosphere

We’re going to Sky City - gonna try so hard
We’re going to Sky City- gonna make my mark
We’re going to Sky City - I will play guitar
We’re going to Sky City - gonna be a star

And when you rise/ are you gonna fly?
To the next tree / or to simply die
Cuz when you’re here / you need to try and try
To jump so high / gonna touch the sky.

We’re going to Sky City - gonna make the dash
We’re going to Sky City - will not miss the bash
We’re going to Sky City - gonna be so brash
We’re going to Sky City - gonna be a smash

We’re going to Sky City-  gonna get ahead 
We’re going to Sky City - and when all is said
We’re going to Sky City - to the fountain head
We’re going to Sky City - like a Thoroughbred

We’re going to Sky City - gonna make my mark
We’re going to Sky City - gonna try so hard
We’re going to Sky City - I will play guitar
We’re going to Sky City - gonna be a star
We’re going to Sky City - Gonna be a star.
We’re going to Sky City - Gonna be a star.
