Seventh Heaven

I want to see you

With the pharaoh’s curse

The apple flower doggerel

The batteries burst

And I’m out in the city

In the typical noise

With the suntan ellipse

And the filigree of energy

What you want and what you need

Now I’m down on my knees

With a pocket full of widows

You can do it down here

What you never did there

When you feel so untethered

From the broken veneer

Don’t tell nobody I’m here

Don’t tell nobody I’m here

Now I’m far from the world

In your seventh heaven

Now I’m far from the world

In your seventh heaven

Now you got to let me know

Or you got to let me go

I’m gonna take it with me

I’m gonna take it down

A second language

A burden of hope

I’ve seen it all come clean

Like a guillotine rose

A photograph

A low life laugh

We’ll shoot for the empire

Land in the dust pile

I want to wake up

In the shadow of a fever pitch

With the gold glass heart

Sending messages

I hear the voice over the phone

She pauses

Says: I’ll never, never, never go

Oh can I stay here with you?

Oh can I stay here with you?

Now I’m dead to the world

In your seventh heaven

Now I’m dead to the world

In your seventh heaven

Now you gotta let me know

Or you got to let me go

Yea you got to let me know

Or you got to let me go

I’m gonna take it with me

Someday there might be something better

You can change your mind but you can’t forget her

Someday there might be something better

You can change your mind but you can’t forget her

So let it rise to the highest high

In the satellite sky

So let it rise to the highest high

In the satellite sky

Up to the seventh heaven

To your seventh heaven

So let it rise, rise, rise

To the highest height

In the satellite sky

Now I’m starting to fall

From your seventh heaven

Now you gotta let me know

Or you got to let me go

Love a love a love a love
