Momma used to pray
Just 'bout every night
And look where that got her
She lost her mind
Before she took her own life
Oh, she left me behind
Without so much as a goodbye

The sky needs a vacancy sign
A red light glaring through the clouds
Flashing bright so that everyone knows
When that sand runs thin, it's time
And when that time runs out, it's over
Yeah, the sky needs a vacancy sign

I was just a kid
When I realized that
No one's ever listening
No matter how much you cry
How much you beg for help
Help ain't coming

And everything I earned
Was constantly taken away
Yeah, learned at a young age
You gotta fend for yourself
And that life is hell

The sky needs a vacancy sign
A red light glaring through the clouds
Flashing bright so that everyone knows
When that sand runs thin, it's time
And when that time runs out, it's over
Yeah, the sky needs a vacancy sign

So we know where we're going
So we know what not to expect
Faith is nothing but false hope
Yet we're still hoping
Have we learned nothing yet?

The sky needs a vacancy sign
A red light glaring through the clouds
Flashing bright so that everyone knows
When that sand runs thin, it's time
And when that time runs out, it's over
Yeah, the sky needs a vacancy sign

The sky needs a vacancy sign (x2)
