Artwork accompanying the MP3 file

"Lights in the Sky" is the seventh track on the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip. It appears to consist of Trent Reznor singing and accompanying himself on solo piano.

The art is vague, but may represent a light in the sky, a whirlpool (As in "Watching you drown; I'll follow you down") or possibly even a halo (in the sense of the literally meaning or the NIN catalogue system). It's also the only artwork in The Slip that has no red wire.

Curiously the track overlaps into "Corona Radiata", but whether the tracks are somehow related is possible but unknown.

Lyrics

   She's mostly gone
   Some other place
   I'm getting by 
   In other ways
   Everything they whispered in our ear
   Is coming true
   Try to justify the things
   I used to do
   Believe in you 
   
   Watching you drown
   I'll follow you down
   And I am here right beside you
   The lights in the sky
   Have finally arrived
   I am staying right beside you
   
   I tried to stay away
   You know  
   Just in case
   I've come to realize
   We all have our place
   Time has a way you know 
   To make it clear
   I have my role in this
   I can't disappear
   Or leave you here
   
   Watching you drown
   I'll follow you down
   And I am here right beside you
   The lights in the sky
   Are waving goodbye
   I am staying right beside you
