"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, augmented toward its ending with very quiet ambience and flute. The structure resembles the "stripped-down" version of "The Fragile" found in the Still album.

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 literal meaning or the NIN catalogue system). It is also one of the three pictures in The Slip that have no red lines.

Curiously, the track overlaps into "Corona Radiata" and shares its tempo (55 BPM), but whether the tracks are otherwise 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
   They used to do
   Believe in you 
   
   Watching you drown
   I'll follow you down
   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
   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
   I am here right beside you
   The lights in the sky
   Are waving goodbye
   I am staying right beside you
