If you're troubled and you can't relax
Close your eyes and think on this
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think on this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off, there's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off and think of this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
The sky is glass but the sea is brown
And everyone is upside down
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
Freak out!
Freak out!
Close your eyes and think on this
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think on this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
If you ever want to lose some time
Just take off, there's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off and think of this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
The sky is glass but the sea is brown
And everyone is upside down
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
Freak out!
Freak out!

A fact and a hypothesis
Fact
Armenia is a city in Columbia located at 1551 m. Look at the photo on wikipedia and "City in the Sky" makes sense.
And what is Columbia infamous for…?
So forget the middle east, San Francisco and Armenian genocide.
Hypothesis
What if the lyric is "The C is brown"
Quote from "Drugs: A users guide"
"The product is cocaine base, the low grade brown cocaine "pasta" consumed in South American slums"
And "The sky is glass"
Search a bit on the web
Drug slang
"blue sky blond" High potency marijuana from columbia
"crystal glass" Crystal shards of methamphetamine
"getting glassed" To snort methamphetamine
"glass" Heroin; amphetamine; hypodermic needle; methamphetamine
"l. a. glass" Smokable methamphetamine
And put "sky glass marijuana" into google and you'll get the picture.
His lyric is playing with evocative words in an ambiguous way.
To round off. This is a great album. All of it. If anyone asked me "which song do you wish you had written?" it would be "Sunrise"
Anyhow, it is pretty psychedelic.
