Sky Fits Heaven
Lyrics
Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see
Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling traveling
Watching the signs as I go
Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be
Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start
Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go
Traveling traveling
Watching the signs as I go

Sky Fits Heaven contains some lines from a poem by Max Blagg. The original poem reads: "Sky fits heaven, so ride it. Child fits mother, so hold your baby tight. Lips fit mouth, so kiss them". Blagg recited this poem for a 1993 Gap commercial, 10 years before Madonna did her own Gap ad. It was rumoured that Madonna paid Blagg for using the lines without having to credit him in the album's liner notes.
Album
Song
This catchy dance-trance song wasn't released as a single, but was a favorite among remixers. Two remixes featured as B-singles for Drowned World/Substitute For Love (UK and Japan).
Tour
No doubt one of the highlights of the Drowned World Tour was the performance of Sky Fits Heaven. During Mer Girl all of a sudden the beat kicks
in and Madonna jumps from the jungle-like decor. Attached to a
cord she flies through the sky, kicking the 'evil spirit' dancers
in a true kungfu-style. Inspiration for this scene was the movie
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.
