Heaven Can Wait

She’s sliding, she’s sliding

down to the depth 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 that escalator into the ground

She’s hiding, she’s hiding

on a battleship of baggage and bones

There’s thunder, there’s lightning

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 that 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 that escalator into the ground
