[Verse 1] Mr Skiffington, where you going? Brown shoes tapping on the roof You got a paper crown and a pocket full of mints And a grin that looks like proof You wave to buses passing by You salute the passing cranes You say the clouds are just a flock And you know them by their names [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you never sit still No, you never stay down You chase the open air Like it owes you a town [Chorus] Mr Skiffington in the skies Mr Skiffington, touch the blue Mr Skiffington in the skies What a strange, bright thing to do (oh, Mr Skiffington) (oh, Mr Skiffington) [Verse 2] You left your keys in the garden gate And your coat on a cherry chair Your sister says you lost your mind But you only lost the stair You brought a kite made out of maps And a lunchbox full of sky You said, "If the ground keeps calling me I'll just learn to say goodbye" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you never sit still No, you never stay down You chase the open air Like it owes you a town [Chorus] Mr Skiffington in the skies Mr Skiffington, touch the blue Mr Skiffington in the skies What a strange, bright thing to do (oh, Mr Skiffington) (oh, Mr Skiffington) [Bridge] When the thunder rolls its drums And the windows shake and bend You laugh and hold the string Like the world won't end [Final Chorus] Mr Skiffington in the skies Mr Skiffington, touch the blue Mr Skiffington in the skies What a strange, bright thing to do Mr Skiffington in the skies Take your bow above the view Mr Skiffington in the skies We all look up like you (oh, Mr Skiffington) (oh, Mr Skiffington)
