Lyrics
Heaven Can Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's sliding, she's sliding down to the dregs of the world
She's fighting, she's fighting the urge to make sand out of pearls
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive the escalator into the ground
She's hiding, she's hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
There's thunder, there's lightening and an avalanche of faces you know
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive the escalator into the ground
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
with a first aid kit and a flashlight
Going to a desert unknown
Heaven can wait and hell's too far to go
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
And they're trying to drive the escalator into the ground
