Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My beloved Spy in the Sky
It shouldn't hurt to wipe the tears from His cheek
Such a crazy crime to keep you Looking to my Side
You know this segregation's out of my reach
They keep a hazy view
We must adopt another's mind
Amazing Grace
Suffocation bottled up inside
Such determined features
Hypnotizing wide-eyed words
In a Tainted Love Child
So what's the cosmic
Could it be your crystal charms
Or your lack of loving arms
It's your lucky lucky day
Do you remember
Ill die by keeping hidden under the sheets
My resisted Spy in the Sky
It really hurts to scar the tears on His cheek
Such a crazy crime to keep you Looking to my Side
Your lack of taste
It keeps you bellied up inside
Such disgusting creatures
Jeopardizing Blood stained lives
For such a desperate Pride Child
So what's the cosmic
Could it be your crystal charms
Or your lack of loving arms
It's your lucky day
Wild thing
Amazing Grace
Suffocation bottled up inside
Such determined features
Hypnotizing wide-eyed words
For a Tainted Love Child
So what's the cosmic
Could it be your crystal charms
Or your lack of loving arms
It's your lucky lucky day
The song starts with the singer trying to hide something or someone under the sheets. They refer to this mysterious entity as "My beloved Spy in the Sky." The singer feels the need to hide this being from the outside world, despite the tears they're causing on its cheek. They believe that keeping the Spy in the Sky hidden is a "crazy crime" while somehow keeping others looking towards the singer's side. The singer knows that segregation is out of their reach but wants everyone to adopt another's mind.
The first verse is followed by a chorus that talks about the "amazing grace" the singer has been granted, but they still feel suffocated. Something's holding them back, and it's preventing them from being truly happy. They sing about "hypnotizing wide-eyed words" that belong to a "tainted love child," perhaps someone who's been hurt so much that they've become tainted or jaded.
The second verse talks about the singer's lack of taste and how it's keeping them "bellied up inside." They implore others to stop "jeopardizing blood-stained lives" for their desperate pride. Again, the chorus repeats itself, ending with the tagline, "It's your lucky day." The song concludes with a final chorus where the singer wonders whether it's the "crystal charms" or the "lack of loving arms" that are responsible for their cosmic luck.
