It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me

And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home

This letter never sent

And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in

If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

And it's so far, it's so dark, I'm so lost

And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
