[Intro]
This is my good eye
Do you hear a cow?
A rooster says
Here is a pig
The devil says

[Verse 1]
Painted blue across my eyes and tie the linen on
And I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Looking for the paradigm so I can pass it off
Is it on my side, on my side?

[Chorus]
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky now?
Searching for the ground with my good eye closed

[Verse 2]
If I took you for a ride, would you take it wrong?
Or would you make it right, make it right?
Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on
And be on my way, on my way

[Chorus]
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky now?
Searching for a ground with my good eye closed

[Bridge]
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed
With my good eye closed

[Verse 3]
Stop, you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop, you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time if I'm hiding or I'm lost
But I'm on my way, on my way

[Outro]
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
(I'm on my way) To the sky
(I'm on my way) To the sky
(I'm on my way) To the sky
(I'm on my way) To the sky
I'm on my way (To the sky)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
To the sky
To the sky
On my way
On my way
Is it to the sky?
To the sky
Is it to the sky?
Is it to the sky?
To the sky

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
