The Great Mechanical Sky
INDUSTRIAL, DARK WAVE, SYNTH
Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Nick Cave, The Cure Before Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson were household names there was an innovative group that never got full recognition. The Great Mechanical Sky, a 3-piece act played the local SoCal Industrial/Goth/Synth Rock scene in the clubs for years. Their 1st show was at local Goth institution Ipso Facto which is still running strong 30 years later.

Lyrics
Don’t cry baby, you’re always crying for solutions
Crybaby, you cry out your nose and ears
But your tears are so untruthful
A smile behind each eye and a laugh inside each tear
Don’t cry baby, your always crying for solutions
Crybaby, you cry out your nose and ears
But your tears are so untruthful
A smile behind each eye and a laugh inside each tear
If you don’t get what you want, tears come flying my way
If you don’t get who you want
The earth must stop and everyone freeze for you, anything for you, anything for you, anything for you
If you don’t get what you want, tears come flying my way
If you don’t get who you want
The earth must stop and everyone freeze for you, anything for you, anything for you, anything for you
Niagara Falls from my eyes, as your ritual drags me down and out, down and out
I sit in this small hole in the wall, small hole in the wall
Churning only big decisions, churning those bid decisions around n round
When I come to this I only know
What I thought I knew, the last time around
Stop holding me down, holding me down, holding me down, holding me down, holding me down
If you don’t get what you want, tears come flying my way
If you don’t get who you want
The earth must stop and everyone freeze for you, anything for you, anything for you, anything for you
Niagara Falls from my eyes, as your ritual drags me down and out, down and out
I sit in this small hole in the wall, small hole in the wall
Churning only big decisions, churning those bid decisions around
When I come to this I only know
What I thought I knew, the last time around
Stop holding me down, holding me down, holding me down, holding me down, holding me down
Under the black, sky we’ll look for you
Under the ruins there, we’ll wait for you
And there’s nothing, I can take away from you
But there’s something inside, I would like to break in you
Under the black sky we’ll look for you
Under the ruins there, we’ll wait for you
And there’s nothing, I can take away from you
But there’s something inside, I would like to break in you
And they’ll be miles and miles and miles of yellow clouds for you
Children, with no faces there to stare at you
And they’ll be hours and hours and hours of sudden change for you
But I know you’ll be alright
Another freak show stretched out for you
Another sulfur wind blows holes in you
And there is nothing, left in tact except for you
And as the scene unfolds, we’ll hunt for you
And they’ll be miles and miles and miles of yellow clouds for you
Children, with no faces there to stare at you
And they’ll be hours and hours and hours of sudden change for you
But I know you’ll be alright
Who is left, and who has simply gone away
I think today is my birthday
And they’ll be miles and miles and miles of yellow clouds for you
Children, with no faces there to stare at you
And they’ll be hours and hours and hours of sudden change for you
But I know you’ll be alright
