Lyrics Heaven’s Ladder - Beck

Heaven’s Ladder

Look up heaven’s ladder, see the angels climb down
With their eyes all full of stars and their heads in the clouds
Oblivious to danger
With the failure to keep both feet on the ground
And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you’re shackled to the shadow and we’re ghosts
You could learn to leave the long lost days alone
Down below, down below where there’s nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere, then you’re on your own
Anyone who’s learned their lesson and burned their hands
They’ll steal someone else’s answers if they can
'Cause cheating is better than guessing
When the answer is that there’s none to be had
And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you’re shackled to the shadow and we’re ghosts
You could learn to leave your long last days alone
Down below, down below where there’s nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere, then you’re on your own
Now that you know how high the hook and ladder goes
From the highest rung down to the lowest low
And when the sun sets on you, then you go
When you’re shackled to the shadow and we’re ghosts
You could learn to leave your long last days alone
Down below, down below where there’s nowhere else to go
Just as far as nowhere, then you’re on your own
